How to permanently show Folder pane

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?)

    I thought selecting "show" pane would solve it, but it didn't. Did not find this answer anywhere.

    ** Here's the deal. I finally figured it out. Under the HOME tab, there is a button "Toggle Left Pane" - click on it and the folder pane will stay open.

    Hope this helps.

    I do not see any button saying "Toggle Left Pane" on the Home tab!
    Searched for that exact thing in the help button - no finds for the search.
    You have some magic form of Outlook.....

    Try clearing your cache and cookies. I found another thread that reminded me to do that, I did it, and found that it worked. So far it has not reverted back....

    Here's hoping they leave things alone for a few weeks, or months.

    Or years.

    there isn't a button under the home tab to toggle left pane. Under view, layout, I have only one option which is "show folder pane" It pops up but it doesn't stay. It disappears right away. my folder pane used be permanent but it is gone.

    I find no "toggle" button under the Home tab. In fact, nothing appears under the Home tab.
