Thank you! I am SOOOOOOOO Sick of MS as they keep changing everything but improving NOTHING! And they force you to D/L updates that ALWAYS create problems you never had!  Then their "instructions" to fix the problems they created never work!  We need another viable OS besides MSux.

I was able to find the equivalent setting in latest Outlook, so very useful, thanks! Crazy how my view settings just totally changed without any interaction from me.

Outlook 2016 - How to disable grouping in all folders, including new future folders. I know how to do it for each folder, but I want to apply to all folders, including any new folders I create in the future without having to do it to each new folder each time I create a folder.

I am looking for this same answer. I've had to individually change it on hundreds of folders which is a waste of time! Thank you!
