I am using Outlook for Mac ver 14.5.6 on my late 2011 MacBook Pro. I have several email accounts which i open in Outlook. Every time I select a different account, the reading pane disappears. I select "bottom" again and continue reading and replying to my mail. If I change mail accounts, the reading pane disappears, and I have to select "bottom" again for that account. If I return to an earlier account, the reading pane is gone again.

I've opened "Organize", then " Reading ", then selected "bottom" in the toolbar, but that has no effect. This is a relatively recent occurrence. It seems like I no sooner get one issue addressed, then another pops up!

Does anyone have any suggestions or work-arounds?

Thank you,

Pat
