How to permanently show Folder pane

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.

Thank you so much Wanda....this has been driving me mad, since I use my folders all the time!

Tried it. Still disappears when I click on my reading pane.

Me too.

Great to know about the three bars, but I want folders to display AND STAY DISPLAYED, in browser based Outlook Live, like it does in my desktop app. I use the purchased version of Office (not 365).

Does anyone have any idea how to toggle the Folder Pane so it displays all the time, along with the Reading Pane? It does for me in Firefox, but not in Edge.

It seems like in Edge, you can either have one of the Folder or Reading Pane options selected (under View/Layout) but not both.

I suppose I'll just use Firefox, and in Edge (which I'll use when Firefox is unstable), I'll set it to display Folder and not Reading Pane.

Thanks community.

PS I changed Edge's Zoom view setting from 100% to 90%, and it Folder and Reading panes now display permanently, even when I log out and log in again.

This could be as I'm working on a compact HP laptop.

I can’t find “Toggle left pane” I am using Windows 11

This may not be relevant to you, but this problem only happens on my laptop.

As mentioned above, I fixed it for me by changing my laptop browser's view zoom level to 90%, or less (you might need to use a different zoom level to me), and it can now continue to display the folder list after I reveal it via the three little horizontal lines in the top left.

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.
