Change default arrangements for new folders

[Amandar097]

Every time I create a new folder within my Inbox, the default arrangement is
to show in groups.

Is it possible to remove this default so that no grouping is selected.

I need to create several folders, and I do not want to remove the show in
groups arrangement for each folder individually.

Thanks,
Amandar097

Select the Folder, then select View>Arrange by, uncheck Show in Groups. You
have to do this for each folder.

Are you working in a corporate environment and using Outlook with a Microsoft
Exchange email account? If so, then you may be able to use a built in
function to copy a folder's design.

The article is a little technical but basically, if you are using corporate
email with Outlook 2003, or earlier, then there is built-in function to copy
a folder's design elements, and then apply those settings to another folder.

I can use this function at work but not at home, since my home account is
set for internet mail.

(I don't know if this function is retained in Office 2007.)

I tried it, but when I click on FIie, then Folder; I do not have a "Copy
Folder Design" option. My mail is through Comcast.net, so I guess it's
technically Internet mail.

Thanks for your help,
Amanda

I just wish there was a shortcut - I hate to change all the folders
individually...

Yes. See this: http://www.outlook-tips.net/howto/grouping.htm
