Hi - I had the To-Do/calendar side pane showing right of the email reader pane for a couple of days (even had the three dots menu. to adjust for day, week, month. etc) but this morning Outlook asked me to. sign in/add my account again and now I cannot find the option to display it, with many online resources even claiming it's not even available for Outlook on macOS...but I know I'm not imagining it - please help!

    Hi @Cian Walker ,

    Welcome to our forum!

    Do you mean the task pane as shown in the below figure?

    If so, as I know, the feature is available in New Outlook for Mac. Please go to View>Task Pane on the top.

    If you can't find the "Task Pane" option, maybe you are currently in legacy outlook, please turn on the New Outlook button to switch to New Outlook for Mac first.

    For more information and features about Outlook please refer to: The new Outlook for Mac.

    Hope the above help!

    I am using the legacy outlook view, I restored to legacy in order to have column choosing (which is another issue). In legacy outlook view there is a mini version of 'Calendar and Task views' etc via icons which you will find icons in the lower left hand corner of the left panel where you can select one of these and it changes the screen to that view. Not ideal as it doesn't display the calendar or tasks on the right panel like we're used to in Windows ....but it's what I've found for now.
