Download now When users expand that Folder Pane again from the minimized view, however, it doesn’t stay expanded when users click outside it. Thus, some users might wonder how they can get the expanded Folder Pane view to stick after minimizing it.
How do I keep Outlook’s Folder Pane expanded?
1. Adjust the Folder Pane setting
2. Click the pin button
Alternatively, users can click a pushpin button at the top right of the Folder Pane. Expand the minimized Folder Pane by clicking the arrow button (>) at the top of it. Then click the pushpin button in the snapshot directly below. Thereafter, the Folder Pane will remain expanded when you click out it.
3. Set up a VBA macro that automatically expands folders when Outlook starts
So, that’s how you can keep the Folder Pane expanded in Outlook. The VBA macro will also ensure that the Folder Pane’s folders are fully expanded when you start Outlook. ElseLoopFolders Ns.Folders, TrueEnd If DoEventsSet Application.ActiveExplorer.CurrentFolder = CurrFEnd Sub Private Sub LoopFolders(Folders As Outlook.Folders, _ByVal bRecursive As Boolean _)Dim F As Outlook.MAPIFolder For Each F In FoldersSet Application.ActiveExplorer.CurrentFolder = FDoEvents If bRecursive ThenIf F.Folders.Count ThenLoopFolders F.Folders, bRecursiveEnd IfEnd IfNextEnd Sub If you have other questions or suggestions, reach for the comment section below.
