Outlook for mac no longer respects reading pane choice
I normally view my emails on Outlook for Mac with the Reading Pane set to "right". Got an update of Outlook this morning and now Outlook changes the Reading Pane setting back to "Bottom" whenever I quit and restart Outlook.
I am on Version 16.102.2 (25102623)
Please advise how I can get Reading Pane setting back to a default of "Right".
Many thanks.
I have been facing the same issue, but you can try downgrading to solve the issue.

Just was working with a client that was experiencing the same thing...
Hoping this gets fixed sooner rather than later.msft support just told me via chat that it has it listed now as a bug to be fixed but needs to gather more documentation. i have to fill out some incident report. very microsoft ... we have to jump thru hoops to document what everyone knows before msft will fix what it broke. i have spent hours on this already in chat with msft and with other users. i am out of bandwidth to spend any more time. i'll fill out the incident report tonite and then wait a week or a month or a year for msft to fix it. same as it ever was ...which is why i abandoned msft for apple 16 years ago. thanks for your comment Ben. appreciate all you do.
it sounds like you just took one for the Team (pun intended ,-) Thanks!
The same issue surfaced yesterday as well. Using 16.104. We have to manually set the view pane to right every time the program opens - no fixes.
The search box for emails and the toggle for legacy / new outlook also disappeared from the blue ribbon in the top right corner. Searching for emails is impossible now.
Same here... any solution so far!
same thing here... MS is terrible without choice

I have the exact same issue. Please make an update that remembers preferences.
Keep forgetting preferences also if you just minimise the window, not close the app. Unbelievable!
Same here - same version. Very annoying
Exactly the same issue. Did not find a solution so far, will monitor this thread with hope.
