Suddenly today my folder pane is hidden by default. I have not changed any settings. I can go to View>Layout>Folder pane>Show and it will pop up but it will disappear if I click anywhere but the folder pane. I need to see the folder pane all the time. How can I change this? (And why did it change itself?)

Try clicking the “Expand the folder pane” button then click the pin icon. Try going to the view tab > Expand the Folder Pane icon > Make sure “Normal” is selected. Try going to the view tab > Expand the Folder Pane icon > Make sure “Normal” is selected. That's what he has to go to get the folder pane back.

Zooming out worked for me as well, thank you!!
I had the same problem but resolved it. I did away with the 'preview email' panel which made then made room for the folders panel and the inbox panels. I haven't had that problem since. I don't really miss the preview email info at all. I hope this helps. :-)
I'm having the same problem - tried it in both Edge and Chrome; same result. My email ends with outlook.com - I don't know what type of account it is among the options you listed. I never had to go to View>Layout>Folder Pane>Show before but now I have to do that every time I log back in in order to see the folder pane.
Same drama's here. Everything was fine now the folder pane has disappeared and all I see now is messages with no fder pane. The whole app decided to change my original format by itself and I can't get the folder pane to show permanently even following Microsofts instructions???
