Global Preview Pane Settings Needed

[Susieber]

Every time I create a new folder in Outlook, it defaults to having the
Preview pane turned on. I have to manually go into EACH folder created and
turn off preview. When organizing an entire tree in Outlook folders, this
gets quite cumbersome. A simple solution would be to allow Preview pane to be
OFF by default. Unfortunately, Microsoft decided for some reason that this
should be ON by default. Why not let the user decide? Outlook has become so
cumbersome because of simple oversights like this.

It hasn't. Instead of disabling it for the view of the current folder
disable it in the default Messages view;
View-> Arrange By-> Current View-> Define Views-> Messages-> Modify...
