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

    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.

    Any fix on this yet? I guess I just have to revert to the old outlook. What a great sign of progress/s

    I'm with you! I noticed it in 20 minutes of use.

    I also hate that I can't seem to combine my Tasks and Calendar in the same right-hand column as I use to; it's either one or the other switchable by click tabs.

    Please ask your deveopment team to take Mjel62 suggestion serioulsly. For those of us who have 100s of folders, having the Favorites stay locked at the top and all else scroll underrneath it is EXTREMELY important to us and a ture time saver for moving around quickly within Outlook. Also, they need to add this feature to the web version of Outlook. The main reason I refuse to use the web version of Outlook is because this same feature/function is not available on the site.

    Can they fix this today??? We're not looking to wait a year for resolve.

    I'm the same. The fact that one can't pin the "Favorites" at the top while scrolling, like the old Outlook, is ridiculous! It's like they've made it less functional and less appealing. Microsoft is taking backward steps with this move. I may end up going back to old Outlook until the Microsoft engineers solve this major issue.
