I am using Microsoft Outlook 2003 in an Exchange 2003 environment. I have a
number of server-side folders (such as the standard Inbox, Outbox, Sent
Items, etc.), and also a local PST file that I use to store most of my
long-term messages. My PST file has a fairly large number of folders &
sub-folders that I use to store messages in a hierarchical & logical (at
least to me) manner.
I have defined a custom table view to be used in displaying my message
folders - fields are as follows:
* Importance
* Attachment
* From (Specific width = 25, Alignment = Left)
* Subject (Specific width = 70, Alignment = Left)
* Received (Specific width = 20, Alignment = Right, Format = Tue 9/20/2005)
* Size (Specific width = 12, Alignment = Right, Format = Computer - 640 KB.)
I then apply this view to each folder individually so that there is field
consistency as I browse from folder to folder.
While this does appear to work at first, I notice that there are times when
one or more of my local PST folders will become out-of-sync with my defined
view (typically field width changes). In other words, as I browse from
folder to folder, the widths no longer match my original defaults even
though each folder is still listed as "matching" my custom view name. The
"Subject" field of some folders might increase to 73, while the "Received"
field might shrink to 17. Some folders match my original view
specification, while others match this "altered" width pattern.
Question - can anyone tell me why this happens, and how to stop / correct
it?
My goal is to have the custom view always drive the display of every folder
where that view is chosen, and not to vary from folder to folder.
Any assistance is appreciated.
Thanks.
