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?)

    If the window size is reduced to a certain size the app seems to decide not to shrink/wrap text but instead takes away the folder pane to give real estate to the others. Just stretch the window wider if not full screen.

    I just figured this out (I know several years later) but in View tab click on "change view" and choose "single". Seems to work

    We're talking about the STANDALONE Outlook.exe (365 / 202x) program; NOT the browser-version.

    I've finally found a way to get my view to comeback... There are two keyboard commands that make it switch between views:

    To switch between the Mail Navigation and the Folder List Navigation, you can use the Navigation Panel at the bottom left or use their keyboard shortcuts.

    CTRL+1 Mail Navigation                                Reset "Favorites" (This one seems to work for me)

    CTRL+6 Folder List Navigation"
