My reading Pane disappears when I change Email accounts (Office 365 for Mac) or Outlook 2011

My version of Outlook is 14.3.1

In the past, I have set my reading pane to be at the bottom of the screen.

I had issues with Googles error messages (like 1-2 every minute)  that I had a email out there that was too large and to get rid of it I had to delete my Gmail account, rebuild my identity and then re-create my Google Mail account in Outlook.

Ever since I did that, I can create my reading pane and as long as I do not go to another Email account it works fine

But if I change accounts it goes away and I have to re-create it again.

I have closed Outlook with the reading pane there... but when I re-open the program it is gone.

Any suggestions out there to help me keep that reading pane where it belongs?

Thanks
