Can't adjust columns in the message list

Hi everybody,

I have just installed Entourage. I wanted to change my message listing
into single-lined style and to add and remove some columns. But when I
tried to do this, the "Column" menu item under "View" was inactive
(grey-colored). I tried many things but the menu item was just
unavailable. Does anyone know why?

Many thanks!
Clement

You need to go to View > Preview Pane, and make sure it is set to "Below
List" or "None". There are no columns to add or remove when the Preview
Pane is on the right.

Hi Mickey,

My goal is to change to single-lined listing even though the preview
pane is on the right, which is possible in MS Outlook 2003. So
Entourage does not support it, right?

thanks,
Clement

No, the message list display with Preview Pane on Right cannot be changed.
There are no columns, and you can't customize what data is displayed in the
message list.

You should send this as a feature request to Microsoft. In Entourage X or
2004, go to Help > Send Feedback on Entourage. Otherwise, click on this

My preferred view setting in Entourage 12.0.0 (2008) is, from left to right, the following: FLAG LINK STAT ATTA PRIO SIZE SENT FROM TOPIC TO REC ACC. (That's for the Inbox folder; for my other folders I need similar settings.) Now I just want to report two issues:

1.) Copy column settings: We users need a function to copy the column settings of one mail folder to another mail folder! (E.g. via context click.) Columns widths and column orders must be transferable.

2.) Drag column positions: In Entourage 12.0.0 we cannot drag all columns to the positions we prefer: The columns FLAG, LINK, STATUS, ATTACHMENT and PRIORITY, for example, are at fixed positions! Why is that so? That's evil! Micro$oft must (!) patch this instantly. Every column must be draggable freely.

Thanks.
