>To change the mail folders, you need to switch to the Folder List view. At the bottom of the treeview of Mail Items, there should be an icon that looks like the folder icon. Select that and the Favorite Folders should disappear and you will see a treeview of all the Outlook folders including all you mail folders. That worked. >To change the Grouping, select the Mail Folder, from the menu select View->Arrange By and deselect "Show In Groups". As far as I know, you need to do this for each folder separately, since you can have a different setting for each Mail folder. If anyone knows how to do this universally, please let me know. That's correct, you need to do this happy horse**** to each and every folder. Can you say "brain damaged children"? What moron.... Upgraded a perfectly functioning Outlook XP. (That would be me. Sigh!) Unless there is some huge reason to keep 2003, I am thinking of uninstalling and reloading the XP (2002) version. This 2003 version is simply moronic. John W.

Now my email view is just about unusable. I have about 50 or 60 mail folders, and I need every inch I can get to view them (and still can't view them all) but now the top two inches of that column is taken up with "favorite folders", which I don't need, don't use, and don't want. Is there any way to get rid of that? Additionally the "currently selected folder" now displays "grouping headers" for today, yesterday, yadayada taking up taking up space to tell me when the email came in. I like that piece to display at the top, but this grouping header nonsense now takes up so much room that I can't view any of the email itself below. Is there any way to get rid of that? Is there just a way to say "let me see everything the old 2k/xp way"? I have no problem with new and better, if it is better, but none of the changes "enhance my email experience" IMHO. John W.
