When I use Outlook on the Web (OWA), and then hover with my mouse over a message, the following Quick Action icons become visible;

• Delete
• Mark as Read/Unread
• Flag
• Pin

I sometimes have a bit of a “trigger finger” and worry that I might hit the Delete icon by mistake. Also, as Outlook on the Desktop doesn’t support the Pin feature, I don’t use that either.

Can I somehow disable some of these Quick Action icons and assign other commands to them like Archive or Move?

The Quick Actions icons that appear when hovering on an email in Outlook on the Web (OWA) can help you to triage your emails more quickly but can also work against you when you hit the wrong command.

You can indeed disable them if you don’t want to use them or customize them so they perform another action (although your choice is very limited).
