Hide Favorites Folders In Outlook 2010 24th August 2011

After doing a fresh install of Outlook 2010 I noticed an area above my email accounts titled Favorites. I don’t use this, I don’t plan on using this and it takes up about 2cm of vertical space which is much needed with all my email accounts. It’s easy to get rid of but you have to know where to look.

• Expand the top ribbon bar if it is not already open and choose the “View” tab.
• Click on the “Navigation Pane” option and then choose the “Favorites” item.
• That’s it. That menu option acts as a toggle to turn it on and off.

See, I said it was easy 😄
