Outlook arrange by groups

[Muppetboy]

I've just changed to a newer version of Outlook and it's insisting on arranging my emails by group which is driving me up the fecking wall. Is it possible to turn this off for ALL folders?

At the moment I'm having to change this folder by folder, and I have hundreds of folders

Given the number of geeks on here I would have thought someone would have known this? :confused:

I'm not sure I understand the question matey - Outlook 2007 right?

Nope, Outlook 2003

The problem is when you click on a folder (either archive or Inbox/sent) the emails in that folder are sorted in groups by default and not by say "from" or "date". You have to then turn off sort by group for each folder.

Did this make any more sense or am I still talking tosh?

Just having a look now - it does appear that you have to do it by folder. That begs the question of how it got enabled like that though?

I take it it's a PST file and not on a exchange server?

What you can do is check the default selected view. You can do that by right-clicking on the root folder and selecting properties. There's a default view for the folder in there - the problem is that I don't think it recurses down into the folder structure?

Sorry don't have Outlook in front of my at the minute, on my mac.

I'll have a look-see when I get my work laptop in the morning.

The archives are PST stored on my laptop but the inbox/sent etc are stored on the exchange server.

I'll try the default view thing tomorrow, but knowing my luck it won't work

Cheers
