What happened to daily calendar view on new Outlook?

I started using the new Outlook yesterday and it mirrored my current Outlook which was great. My current Outlook, in order from left to right, has my folders, inbox, reading pane, and daily calendar on the far right. Now this morning the daily calendar on the far right is missing. I have been all over the app and cannot locate where I have the option to add it back to the view. I see where I can modify the reading panes but that is it. Help?

    Yes, I meant reading pane. Your pic shows how my old outlook looked, but with the new outlook, the calendar covers up part of the reading pane when open. I would like both to be visible

    So has anyone actually found a way to have the calendar not cover up part of the email as in this image? I just want to see the calendar all the time like I used to and not have to close it to see my emails. It is shrinking the reading pane, but not scaling the image. There is a scroll bar to go up or down, but not to go left or right so there is no way to see the right side of the email without closing the pane every time.

    Hi Mirarya,

    I realized for some of us the calendar pane is overshadowing our reading pane as the UI is not compatible with our screen size. I was getting same issue when I used the outlook app on my laptop, when I shifted the screen to a monitor[bigger screen size], the calendar was no longer overshadowing my reading pane. It got adjusted.

    I agree this is not a good fix to things. I would suggest in the meantime go by the suggestion of NRHTX to switch off the new outlook and back to web view as before.

    Microsoft is aware, many users are having bad user experience from their new release and they are working on the same. A fix will be provided shortly.

    Thank you for your patience.

    Oh my word. I have spent a good hour or two trying to figure this out. Thank you SO, SO much for this Dan. The new Outlook is great but not having the calendar panel was driving me nuts (not to mention the fat wasted space on the side which just upset my sense of symmetry). Can't believe it was so simple. I must have searched every crevice of my software but would never have figured this out.

    I figured out how to "dock" it. That's not really the problem. The problem is that the reading pane isn't necessarily scaling when I do. I did discover one thing. Email text is scaling within the frame, but if there is an image in the email, it gets cut off. Because there is no way to scale it or scroll left to right, I can't see the rest of the image without either closing the calendar or opening the email in a new window.

    Hello, @Mirarya

    I tried utilizing it multiple times, but each time I ran into problems trying to replicate my desktop application's settings. It took me weeks, but I eventually figured out how to display the calendar peek on the right side and activate the calendar via the dock, as seen in image 1 below. I could not find a way to move my favorites or folders to the far left as folders or icons, so I reverted to the desktop view (see image 2).

    if anyone knows of a shortcut, please share.
