I can no longer find a way to mark a message as "starred" . Also, header column order is different

I can see all of the messages that I have previously "starred" by clicking on the "star" tab at the top of all of my new messages. That tab is at the top along with "unread", "contacts" "tags", but I can no longer see how to mark any new messages as "starred'. I've tried clicking on "message" at the very top of the page, then "mark", then "add star" , but it doesn't add a star to that message. Also, I think the column order of my messages are different now. They are from left to right : "subject", "recipient", "correspondent" & time "received". Can I change that order? I liked seeing the correspondent on the left side. Thanks

Chosen solution

Starred status can be toggled with the S key. The Starred column can be shown by right-clicking any column button, such as Subject, and the order of columns can be changed by drag and drop of the buttons.

If you can't star or unstar messages, see if it works in safe mode (hold Shift when launching TB).
