Outlook 365 View

Question

The view on my Outlook 365 has changed. I am able to apply my custom view to all mailboxes except the inbox. The inbox's 'view' pane is condensed, and does not allow me to update the view. How do i apply the view from sent items, deleted items, all other mailboxes, to my inbox? I want to turn off the reading pane.

Thanks

Hi @Zach Ruedinger ,

Welcome to our forum!

From your description, do you want to turn off reading pane in Inbox?
If so, you can refer to the following steps:
Go to the Inbox, click the View tab and then click Reading Pane in the Layout section and select Off.

If the Reading Pane is not turned off, you can reset all views to the default view: Press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog.
Enter outlook.exe /cleanviews in the Open box and click OK or press Enter.
