Entourage email pane column headings

E

I use Entourage to access my MS Exchange mail server at work. I am
genrally happy with the program, but one thing annoys me: whenever I
set up or access a mail folder for the first time, I have to remove
four column headings (conversation, project, category, received) and
add three (to, size, sent), because that suits my use of email.

I cannot find anyway of setting this as a default for my email windows,
or even a script that would do it for one or all folders.

Has anyone solved this?

TIA!

Any subfolders you make will have the same column set-up as its parent. For
example, set up your Inbox how you want it, then when you create new
folders, it will inherit the settings.

Thanks, Diane, I didn't realize that. However, I don't think I could
have used that feature in this case, because when I connected to my MS
Exchange account the many mail folders already existed on the server. I
didn't create them through Entourage, so I didn't have a chance to set
a parent folder with the column headings that I wanted. Any other
approach you can think of?

Thanks again.

Sorry, but no. It would be nice if you could apply template setups to
folders. Send Feedback to Microsoft and hopefully if a lot of other folks
agree with you this feature will be added.

To send feedback go to Help in the menu bar and select "Send Feedback on
Entourage".
