Default How do I lock sort columns in Outlook?


Hi,
I think it is easy (for Microsoft) to please ALL users, to offer a Lock
Columns settings in both the Tools = Options as after a right mouse
click on the headers of the columns. The same way they did for the
Taskbar!

I agree that it is to easy now just to delete columns. I have to deal
with users that want to sort but accidentally drag the column head into
cyberspace and don't understand where the "Subject" went.

Another nice option would be: Set this column-setting for ALL folders.

Regards,

Just tell them to reset their view. It's only a few clicks.

That's already possible. For the technique, see this:
