Turn favorites on or off in Outlook

Your favorite folders are shown at the top of the folder pane on the left side of the classic Outlook window.

If you don't see the folder pane, select the View tab, then in the Layout group, select Folder Pane > Normal.

If Favorites isn't visible in the folder pane, turn it on as follows: 

1. Select the View tab, then in the Layout group, select Folder Pane. 

2. Select Favorites.

   Favorites is a toggle control. When it is turned on, a check mark appears next to Favorites on the menu. When Favorites is turned off, the check mark disappears.
