It could indicate a corruption in your pst-file. Have you scanned it for
errors already?

The issue could be caused by Outlook not closing properly as well.

Thanks Diane,
The link looks like a good resource to bookmark. I went through all of
the steps on that page and setup view for 'messages' the way I wanted it.
the messages in the 'inbox' looked good. however, when I close outlook
and reopen it, the inbox it back to it's default view. I can't make a
view stick. this is weird because everything has been OK since I started
using outlook 2007 and then all of a sudden a few days ago - I could not
keep a view. could this be a bug with outlook 2007 or even vista 64? any
advise on how to continue trouble shooting this?
Thanks.

Running /cleanviews and then customizing the Messages view should fix it.
You can also just make a new custom view and apply it to the folder(s).
See http://www.outlook-tips.net/howto/grouping.htm for the steps needed
to customize the messages view so it sticks.

Thanks for the info. I'm using outlook 2007 and in the tools menu it
says autopreview which shows me a little bit of text under the 1st line
of each email. So what is this 'cleanviews going to do for me and can
you explain how to apply this switch? the url you provided pulled up a
page saying "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage". Thanks
again for any info you can provide.

I assume with Preview Pane you actually mean AutoPreview? The Preview
Pane is what the Reading Pane used to be called in Outlook 2002/XP and
previous ;-)
You might want to apply your changes to the default Messages template
instead. This ensures that all the folders are changed automatically.
You might want to start Outlook with the /cleanviews switch ones to get
them all in their default state again so making changes goes easier.

I've been using outlook 2007 for about 6 months and all has been ok
until now. My normal view is to have the reading pane turned off and
the preview pane turned on. however, now things changed all of a
sudden. now when ever I go to the inbox the reading pane is turned on
and the preview pane is turned off. So I go to the view menu and
reset the view to what it should be. if I click on any other folder
such as sent items and back to the inbox, its back to reading pane on
and preview pane off. This is the same behavior for all folders. any
ideas how to resolve this?
Thanks.
