Outlook 2003 View Settings MADNESS
Hi,
Is there a way to change the default view for outlook email folders? I don't like Grouping or the reading pane, or the "double line" for emails over x number of characters. I tried modifying the "messages" view as well as creating a new view that I could apply -- but the reading pane, grouping, and other parts of my customization don't stick when I apply the view to a new folder. We just converted to Outlook and this is driving people NUTS at my company. Thanks so much. |

You might want to have a look at an article which talks about recovering the
"classic" Outlook interface -- Outlook 2003 made a lot of changes to this interface, which many of us enjoy but some do not like. http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/ol2...ce.htm#classic If you don't like the classic view either (or some parts of it), you'll have to play around with the view settings further to see what works for you. Also, you cannot propagate the new view settings to all folders at once, but as long as you've saved the view for "All Mail folders", you can apply that view to each mail folder individually the next time you open the folder. You can either use View | Arrange By | Current View, or use the Views dropdown box on the Advanced toolbar. -- Jocelyn Fiorello MVP - Outlook *** Messages sent to my e-mail address will NOT be answered -- please reply only to the newsgroup to preserve the message thread. *** In , laura wrote: Hi, Is there a way to change the default view for outlook email folders?

Outlook 2003 View Settings MADNESS
Hi,
Thanks for the info. For some reason the view I created would drop the reading pane and grouping settings when I applied it to other folders -- but I calmed down and tried again and what I found is: If I Modify the MESSAGE view, which is the default view, ALL folders containg that view will update UNLESS I previously messed with the view for that folder. -----Original Message----- You might want to have a look at an article which talks about recovering the "classic" Outlook interface -- Outlook 2003 made a lot of changes to this interface, which many of us enjoy but some do not like. http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/ol2...erface.htm#cla ssic If you don't like the classic view either (or some parts of it), you'll have to play around with the view settings further to see what works for you.

Yep, that's pretty much the way it works now. Any change you make to a
default view for a particular folder ends up being a "one-off" view. -- Jocelyn Fiorello MVP - Outlook *** Messages sent to my e-mail address will NOT be answered -- please reply only to the newsgroup to preserve the message thread. *** In , Laura wrote: Hi, Thanks for the info.

This is a bad feature. You should be able to apply this to all views..
