How to set default to NOT "Show in groups" 2

[CorBlimeyLimey]

In Outlook 2003, can the default be set so that messages in new folders are not automaticaly set to "Show in groups"?

I have found that it can be set during install using the "Custom Install Wizard", but my Outlook is already installed.

Yes,

view > current view > customize & select what/how you want it.

Hope this Helps

Thanks rvnguy, but that only changes the current view.

I'm looking for how to set the default so that when a new folder is created, the "Show in groups" arrangement is NOT selected.

Opps,

View > current view > define views > select 'current view' then modify. Then 'group by' & set to one of the selections...none might work for you

You were close ...

View > Arrange By > Current View > Define Views > Current View Settings/Modify > Other Settings and deselect the Show In Groups option.

Dontcha love how MS makes things easy to find and change!!!!

Thanks for steering me in the right direction.

OK got that.....How do I change all the existing folders at once?

I don't think you can. Once a folder is created you have to change it individually.

If on your PC; focus at the folder > inherit permissions will transfer identical permissions to all under it.

Here is the fix:
View > Arrange By > Current View > Define Views > Messages/Modify > Other Settings and deselect the Show In Groups option.

Click OK > OK > Apply View.

This will change the default Messages view (and not just for the current view). It will now apply to any view that is in the Messages default.
