Hi,

I'm new to Outlook 2007, I do not like the reading panes. I shut the pane
off in my inbox and sent box. It seems that each time I create a folder, the
reading pane displays. Can I shut that off for all messages?
 
You could try customizing the default view to turn the Reading Pane off
(View | Current View | Customize Current View | Other Settings...).

Click to expand...

View>Arrange By>Current View>Define Views. Select Messages. Click Modify,
then Other Settings. Turn the Reading Pane off.
 
i'm not sure what you mean. While in the inbox view customize the setting
and then all my new folders will have the same settings?

I think Ben is referencing the wrong customization. What he describes
customizes only the current folder's form. If you use what I suggest, it
wil customize the default Message form, which will apply to all folders that
use that form (which means new mail folders).
 
Brian, thanks for answering Newbee as I asked this question earlier and
received a much more complicated fix to the problem. I didn't even try it.
Your suggestion worked great! I thought I would ask about something else, to
see if you can help. I have upgraded to 2007 on 2 computers. One of them
cannot see new mail in the Inbox if she clicks on Inbox from another folder.
Let me explain. She is in another folder besides Inbox when new mail arrives.
When she clicks on Inbox it isn't visable. She has to click on any other
folder, it doesn't matter which one, and then click on Inbox and then she can
see the new mail. Gotta fix for this one?

Thanks

What type of account?

POP

Well, I'm somewhat at a loss to explain what you see, although there are
other reports of this occurring. I can't think of any particular reason why
this would manifest itself for a POP account using a PST. Sorry.
 
Thanks anyway. Right after I installed the upgrade this person started making
all kinds of changes in her settings, so it may be something that was set or
changed while she was playing around with it. :o(
