Dear Outlook Gurus,

One of our staff members has asked if there is a way in Outlook 2003, to set
a default so that when they view a mail folder (ie. Sent items), it will
automatically group the folder and collapse the headings (rather than show an
expanded view).

I've managed to work out how to do it manually one folder at a time (ie.
choose View, Expand/Collapse Groups) but you have to do this for each folder
you select. Is there a way to set it for all folders, or at least automate
the process a little?

I would appreciate any advice you may have.

Kind regards
JD2

i would benefit from this info as well. its just very time consuming
to collapse all the emails. i just do not like the expanded view.
