Show/hide image

On the Home tab, in the Show group, the commands in the Panes menu allow you to show or hide panes. Message Pane can also be shown or hidden with the associated button in the status bar.

You can drag a pane by its title bar and then either allow the pane to float or dock the pane to the side or the bottom of the application window. When another pane already occupies the same place, you can dock the panes side by side or show them as tabs—also when they are floating. On-screen indicators show where the pane you are dragging can be docked.

To maximize the working area, you can set a pane to be automatically minimized when the focus is not in the pane. Note that you cannot drag a pane when auto-hiding is enabled.
