Hello!

I would like to change the default for the columns displayed when clicking
on a (new) folder. Out of the box it displays things like online status,
conversation, status, etc.. And I don't want that. I find a button under
View-Columns that says reset to default. How do I set what the default is?

Reset to default takes you to default settings. Otherwise toggle
check/unchecked to show the columns you want.

Yes I know that but how do I change what the default settings are??? I have
somewhere around 3,000 folders in my mailbox (on an Exchange server) and I
really don't want to have to uncheck 6 columns per folder for each folder.
I'd rather set the "default" to be what I want and then reset each folder to
default.

Any subfolders you make will have the same column set-up as its parent. For
example, set Inbox. When you create subfolders, they will inherit the same
settings.

This works for when you create a new folder having changed the way the
parent folder looks, but is there a way of changing the parent folder
so that changes take effect to already existing sub-folders?

Thanks,

Anthony

You would have to create a new root folder, move the mail into this folder
and then create new subfolders.
