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

I have hundreds of email folders and when I scroll down, the pinned Favorites scrolls up and is not visible. This causes me to have to scroll all the way back up to get to my inbox. Previously it stayed in place & I could click the inbox. Thank you

    @KathrineAtWork

    I wonder if MS ever had announced fixes or new features that have been suggested by the community. :)

    This forum isn't an official spot where MS developers give answers....tho I'd appreciate it.

    @Adrian Craciun

    I think you are right. I took a look in January and no sticky favorites where there.

    At this point I hope the S/Mime support will find its way into the New Outlook soon.

    This is good news, thank you Bernhard. I believe this was implemented recently, because I tried about 2 or 3 weeks ago and it wasn't active yet. :)

    Thank you Bernhard!

    I wonder why MS didn't announce this change given that so many people have asked for it?

    Hey all,

    in Outlook Web I just saw that the favorites tab now can be attached sticky at the top of folders (move mouse over "Favorites", 3 points appear, move to the 3 points and choose the option to pin the favorites on top).

    In New Outlook on the desktop the favorite folders are attached at the top by default for me.

    This may fix this problem and for many users the new Outlook can be used. Unfortunately not for me because there is no S/Mime support yet.

    Another issue I can't understand MS hasn't take care of a long time ago.

    The MS Roadmap tells that this feature will be rolled out in march 2025.....haha, let's see how many months will be appended to march.

    The favorites function is completely useless when it isn't pinned to the top of the screen.
