    Folder Pane collapsing in Windows Mail


    Hi, I have transferred all my emails from windows live to Microsoft Mail and now have to sort into folders.

    The Folder Pane keeps collapsing which makes it longer to move emails over.


    Question: is there a way of stopping the folder pane from collapsing so that it is displayed all the time?

    :)

    Folder panel permanently collapsed

    My screenshot is taken this morning from an instance of Windows Live Mail 2102 on the latest release of Windows 10. The
    View tab is only available in the Mail and News windows, not Calendar, Contacts or Feeds. Can you please post a screenshot of your message list showing the collapsed folder pane? How
    to include a screenshot in your post

    Windows 10 Mail expanding folder pane

    Just found out live mail 2012 will no longer be supported as of June 30, 2016. When setting up mail app, the folder pane is minimized to just show icons and not a list of folders. you have to click the ... button to have them overwrite the inbox section.
    If you don't maximize the window, the folder pane has the detail in its own pane with the inbox complete to the write. How to I get the view from the non-maximized view to look the same when maximized? Thanks.

    Windows 10 File Explorer navigation pane automatically expands/collapses folder tree

    I have recently come to Windows 10 from Windows 7 (and Classic Shell). I am not an IT professional, nor enthusiast, but I know my way around a PC.

    When I click on a folder in the file explorer navigation pane tree, it automatically expands the folder in the tree. It also automatically collapses the previous folder I had selected. This drives me nuts, as I am used to deciding for myself when to expand
    and collapse the tree.

    How do I make it:

    - just show the folder contents in the right pane when I select a folder in the tree

    - only expand the folder when I tell it to

    - leave expanded folders expanded when I select a different folder in the tree

    (in other words, behave like Windows Explorer)?

    PS - I will start throwing things at anyone who mentions the "Expand to current folder" setting, as this is not the answer.
