How to remove "Sync Issues", "Search Folders" and "Groups" tabs in Microsoft Outlook 365 desktop navigation pane?
I think the title explains the problem pretty well. In Outlook 365 desktop navigation pane you get some folders(or tabs) created for you and I want to get rid of them. Please take a look at following screenshot. I want to remove everything in the red squares.
I have removed the majority of the unused folders using OutlookSpy. However, it seems outlook spy doesn't work for these folders. Any help would be appreciated, I have several email accounts and I want to be able to see all the folders without scrolling. The amount of space these folders waste is just ridiculous.
