How do you get the reading pane on the right while retaining a column view of emails in the centre?
Whenever I turn on the reading pane to show on the right side, the email list changes from Column View to a format I don't like, which shows each mail over a number of lines that includes a preview. (I'm not sure what the name of this view is.)
On Outlook for the PC, this is not a problem, but on Mac it is for some reason?
You can get pretty close to what you want by turning off balloons.
In the "Track Changes" section of Word's preferences, uncheck the button that says "Use balloons to display changes."
Now additions and deletions are shown inline, and comments are shown as highlights with a reference.
You can view the comments by hovering over the highlight.
Or, you can display the "Review Pane" and view the comments (with additions and deletions interspersed) over there. Less distracting than balloons, though.
Changing the "Arrange By" value from "Date received" to "Date Sent" on the top of the mail list solved this issue for me.

You don't. This is a behaviour/design feature that Microsoft has seen fit to omit/break between their Windows and macOS versions of the product. There have been requests to resolve this, since Office 2013, however Microsoft are not listening or don't care.
