Outlook Settings - Saving “Expand All Groups”

Question

I have several folders in Outlook that I have sorted based on importance, date, etc. How can I ensure that every time I visit that folder that the groups remain expanded? For instance, if I delete all items of normal or low importance, the next time I get items with normal or low importance, the group is collapsed. I'm running Outlook 2007.

Answer 1

Unfortunately I think you're out of luck on this one. Memory of expanded groups (or lack thereof) is one of the bigger annoyances of mine.

Answer 2

There is an easy way to make this work by default and not have to expand each time. Go to view > arrange by > custom > group by

At the very bottom there is a drop down that let's you default to expanded view. Once this is set you will always default expanded.

Answer 3

The best workaround I've found is to use the CTRL+PLUS keyboard shortcut for Expand All Groups

Answer 4

View | Current View | Customize Current View | Group By | Expand/collapse defaults | All Expanded
