Outlook tweaks

With reference to Office 2010 Pro. Outlook - always defaults on install to minimum usability!

Navigation pane can be turned off from View tab. All folders apart from Sent are in the "Messages" view.

Generally, to change nav pane for all folders, change the default message view.

Specifically here, change the page to suit, then apply current view elsewhere: View tab > Change View > Apply current views to other mail folders...

Select folders from the list which appears. This will not change hidden folders (ones with their own views) or any folders where the view has been manually changed. For the latter, reset all views first: start up Outlook from a command line with switches:

 outlook.exe /cleanviews
