Switch off automatic grouping in ALL Outlook 2007 message folders?

J

Jules

Could somebody please tell me how to switch off this automatic grouping
option on ALL of my message folders? So far I'm having to do it to each
folder individually but as I have over 100 folders this is not a satisfactory
option. I don't like grouping and just want to switch it off completely.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Modify the default Messages view instead of the individual view of each
folder;
View-> Current View-> Define Views-> Messages-> Edit...

I have tried that but it's still only changing the view of that one folder.
Do you have any other suggestions? It doesn't say anywhere "apply to all
folders" or suchlike.

It only works when the other folders are still in their default view. You
can force a reset on all folder by;
Start-> Run; outlook.exe /cleanviews

After this directly modify the Messages view
