Hi, I just had the same issue. I was able to fix it. Chose the compact view like suggested above. Then change the reading pane. To do this, View --> Layout-->reading pane-->right. This should fix it, and bring you back to the normal layout. Hope this helps!

Thanks, it worked for me doing this!
I've finally found out that this version of Outlook appears to be a free version which accompanies Windows 10. I have resintalled Office 2016 with the pass code and I have the regular view that I am familiar with. All I have to do now is figure out why I cannot set up my IMAP account on this version that has been working on the free version!
