How to permanently show Folder pane

Anonymous

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?)

    Stetnie, For some reason Microsoft is pretending that this reply is to RichardCookson1's post. That is another screw up on their part. I am using Linux Mint. The toggle left pane button is not labeled. It is right under the Home menu item. It is a little square made of 3 horizontal lines. It worked for me. It brought the folder list back permanently instead of having to bring it up every time I open the email client.

    I don't see that, but directly under the HOME button there is 3 lines. I clicked on it one time & it's fixed!

    I have been trying to fix this for 3 days. I hope this works for you too.

    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 click on toggle left pane and it shows the folder pane but does not stay there (when clicking a folder, it disappears again). How did you get it to stay?

    A real pain if I have to keep pressing toggle every time to see the folder pane.

    Edit: dragging emails to my folder is now non-existent as well.
