Hi All

Every time I create a new folder in my Outlook 2003 program, the message
list (ie the top right panel of the usual 3 panel display) is always
grouped. As I hate this format I have to keep right-clicking on the
titlebar, go to 'Arrange by' and then uncheck 'Shown in Groups'.

Do you know of a way that I can re-config Outlook so that by default the
'Shown in Groups' is not set, ie just one long list?

Thanks

Robbie

Hi Robbie,

By default, the Show in Groups feature is turned on for all Outlook 2003 folders. To turn on the Show in Groups feature for your Inbox, follow these steps:
1. Start Outlook 2003.
2. In the left pane, click your Inbox folder.
3. On the View menu, point to Arrange By, and then click to select the Show in Groups check box.

Currently, you cannot turn on or turn off the Show in Groups feature for multiple folders at the same time. You must turn on the Show in Groups feature for each folder.
