Can someone tell me how (or is it possible) to permanently disable the
annoying automatic configuration of group sort and reading pane view that
appears each time a new folder is created.
Both features makes it cumbersome to browse the folders. I have many
folders sorted for many purposes. Often I might make a temporary folder for
further sorting messages by date or importance. It would be nice to be able
to create folder with and drag and drop the batch of messages and be
operational. However, there are a number of additional steps where I have
to remember to go in and remove the never wanted group sort, then go in and
remove the never wanted reading plane. Since I use imap, I would prefer any
messages to never be opened unless I decide to open it. The reading pane
gives spammers the satisfaction of knowing that when a user selects their
message to delete it, he will inadvertently have downloaded and had the
option to view it, because this feature is so hard to remove.
Again, there might be a way to change the defaults so that my
preference is preserved for new folders that I create, after I have already
elected not to have my messages group sorted and viewed in a reading pane.
Thanks in advance for any comments on this matter.
Also, if it's determined that this is an oversight on the developers;
someone might get this thought to them in time for the next Outlook edition.
