Question asked on Nov 2, 2015

Hi:

I've used Outlook for Mac 2011 since it was released and love it. However, in the last few weeks I've noticed a minor irritating change that could be due to an update, or could be due to  the fact that I am not very computer savvy and thus accidentally hit something that I should not have.

Normally, Outlook used to default to my "Home" pane/tab at the top of the window when I do anything.

Now, it automatically opens the "Search" pane/tab whenever a new mail folder is accessed (the order of panes/tabs is Home>Organize>Tools>Search from left to right at the top of the window). Search is also purple, while the other 3 tabs are not colored.

Does anyone know how I may fix this so that "Home" is opened by default??? It's not a big deal, but since I am accessing mail folders a zillion times a day this now requires one extra mouse click to get back to the "Home" tab/pane.

Thank you very much!!!
