Tech for Luddites

By default, Outlooks groups messages by Date in most of their folders, including Inbox, Sent and and any new ones you create yourself. I don’t know why this bothers me so much, but it does. It really, really does. 🙂

I like my folders to just be one long list of messages with no grouping at all. If you’re the same but didn’t realize you could do something about it, good news… You can!

Just go to the View ribbon and click the Down arrow in the Arrangement section.

Uncheck the Show in Groups box and voila!

Now if only I could set a preference that I never, ever, EVER want it to do this… (I create a lot of new folders.) 🙂
