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?

This was killing me. Thank you for sharing this.
Do you by any chance know how to make (Show Navigation Pane) smaller like the old version?
For example, My pane is open, but it takes up a good portion of the left screen. In the previous version, I was able to click on the Pin to make it smaller and only show my favorites.

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.
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.

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.
