You can change the order regardless of whether you’ve got the “Compact Navigation” setting switched on or off.

You can change the order of the items by selecting an item and then using the “Move Up” and “Move Down” buttons.

Ctrl+1 moves to the first icon in the list, Ctrl+2 to the second, and so on. To move between them, click an icon or press Ctrl+ on your keyboard.

You can also choose whether the Navigation pane is visible (the default setting), minimized to the side, or turned off entirely. You might notice that the Folder pane drop-down options include more than just turning Favorites on and off. To turn it back on hit View > Folder Pane and switch “Favorites” back on. This will remove the Favorites section from the Navigation pane. In the menu that appears, switch off the “Favorites” option. No matter what folder you’re in, click View > Folder Pane.

The folder will still be available in the mailbox it just won’t be visible in the Favorites. Right-click a folder in Favorites and select “Remove from Favorites” to remove it. You can add or remove any folder you want in your Favorites.
