Microsoft Outlook – Favorites shortcuts disappear on re-launch
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}
When I add shortcuts from my mail accounts to the Favorites folder, they get deleted on Outlook re-launch.
I am using Microsoft Outlook 2013.
Since I have configured multiple mail accounts in Outlook, I prefer Inbox shortcuts to be appeared in the Favorites folder. Seeking a solution to keep the shortcuts added to Favorites folder even after re-launching the application.

A reasonably acceptable answer is found in this blog.
I followed the instructions and managed to keep the shortcuts unchanged even after re-launching the Microsoft Outlook.
In Windows 10, the Outlook.xml file can be found in
C:Users<YourUserAccount>AppDataRoamingMicrosoftOutlook
Makes sure you backup the original Outlook.xml file, in case it is needed later.

Outlook ate my shortcuts! (Favorite folders and calendar disappearing in Outlook)

- You can create a new mail profile. This resets everything you’ve customized unfortunately, so it is, in my opinion, a last resort.
You can navigate to the folder that Outlook stores settings in. In Windows XP it defaults to:
C:Documents and Settings\Application DataMicrosoftOutlook
In this folder you will find a file called Outlook.xml. Very innocuous sounding, don’t you think? This is the file causing all of the woes! You should exit Outlook completely then rename the file (never delete outright, bad form my good Pan!). Restart Outlook and you will notice all of your favorites and calendars are gone. Reset them to the way you would like, exit Outlook again and restart. Poofthey are back!
Now the problem appears to be some sort of corruption to this fileTry closing Outlook and running this: OUTLOOK.EXE /resetnavpane
