I'm new to Outlook 2007, I do not like the reading panes. I shut
the pane off in my inbox and sent box. It seems that each time I
create a folder, the reading pane displays. Can I shut that off for
all messages?

ViewArrange ByCurrent ViewDefine Views. Select Messages. Click Modify,
then Other Settings. Turn the Reading Pane off.
