Is there a way to pin/lock the Favorites to the top of the folder bar?

Dear Mjel62,

Good day! Thank you for posting to Microsoft Community.

I understand that you have a concern with Pinning/locking the favorites folder to the top of the folder bar in the New Outlook. According to your description, I really understand that you are referring to difference in the current feature in New Outlook preview and the classic outlook. Please note that currently this feature doesn't seem feasible in the new Outlook for Windows as. I do apologize not able to meet your requirements at the moment. However, your concern is very meaningful and reasonable. At this point, since New Outlook is still under development, I will surely raise your concern to our Product Development Team and hopefully this can be included in the future updates. Also, we sincerely recommend you send your concern as an idea on our in-app New Outlook feedback site. To provide feedback, go to Help> Feedback. You can refer to Contact support and provide feedback within the new Outlook for Windows - Microsoft Support. Our Product Development Team are committed to enhancing the customer experience by continually examining suggestions to include in the design and development of future product upgrades based on your suggestions. Hopefully your suggestion will help many users in the future.

Thank you for your precious time and understanding. For other questions, feel free to add your post in the Microsoft Community team.

Stay safe and healthy. Have a good day!

Sincerely,

I am so glad when I come to a forum and see others having the same issue. Less glad when I realize Microsoft doesn't have an answer for this. I will be providing in-app feedback on this as suggested.

I've only used the new Outlook for a couple of hours and already had to come and look for this issue. If we can notice this within a few hours of use, what are the beta testers looking at? Something so small, but so functional for so many folks.

Please find a solution to pin this to the top!

I'm in agreement with Dominic 100%. I have hundreds of folders and the Favorites function is a quick access to them. Are you guys at Microsoft out of your mind? I will never switch to the new version in this condition.

Also, People view is bad. I need the full list with all the columns visible but there's no way to change it.

Seems to me a mobile application and no more a professional one.

This makes me crazy also. It was so productive in the older Outlook. Not sure why I have a new Outlook any way

Can you put it back? Now i'm seeing why the option to revert to the old outlook is there. The new one does not function well for users AT ALL. It's counter intuitive with many things....
