Creating new folder; how to not have 'group by' auto-set
In: Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 [Part of Microsoft Office Professional 2007] When I created a new folder [under 'Inbox' or a subfolder of Inbox], the new folder is always customized to be Grouped By 'Categories'. The folder above the newly created folder is not customized this way. I'd like to find a way for the new folder to not be set this way. As of now, every time I create a new folder I have to go to Customize Current View and manually set the Group By to "(none)". Any help that can be provided would be greatly appreciated! Thank you very much. matt -- remove the "noSpam_" to email me. |

Creating new folder; how to not have 'group by' auto-set
folders do not inherit the view of the parent folder - they use the default
messages view. Either fix the default view to your liking or make a custom view and apply it to the new folders. Use the method described at http://www.outlook-tips.net/howto/grouping.htm to change the default view. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Outlook Tips by email: EMO - a weekly newsletter about Outlook and Exchange: "matthewtec" wrote in message ...

Creating new folder; how to not have 'group by' auto-set
Diane --
Thank you. That got me where I needed to be. A follow-up, however, is that in the web page you gave the URL for, you mention: "Because Outlook often creates 'one-off' views when you change a current view... " It's not that I don't understand the term 'one-off', but in this instance, I was just hoping you could help me better understand what you mean by it. (if you have the chance; whatever the case, thank you very much for answering my question) matt -- remove the "noSpam_" to email me.
