    How to edit columns in outlook folders


    I have assigned a column "tags" and "Categories" but I cannot edit those fields in my outlook folders such as my download folder, which has emails, pdfs, etc.

    why won't column headings in File Explorer (Windows 10) stay the way I set them??

    Hello,

    To resolve the issue with column heading on File Explorer, we suggest to follow the steps below:

    • Click on the View Tab.
    • Click Folder Options.

    • Click Apply to all folders.
    Keep us posted.

    Regards.

    Favorites/Folders column viewing

    I am trying to have my Favorites/Folders column to be already open and viewable when I open my Outlook inbox mail.

    The above column also shows all the folders I have composed, etc.

    I would like it to stay open all the time. Right now my inbox mail list takes up the whole window and I have to click the 3 lines near the top of the window, to the left of NEW MESSAGE each time I want to see Favorites, Folders, Sent Mail, etc.

    Thank You,

    Roger Scharf

    Column Width in List View in File Explorer

    I went through all of the above steps, but sadly this doesn't work when viewing folders in *list* view. Any idea how to adjust the column widths there?

    Up until a couple of months ago the column widths were always simply equal to the longest name in the column or the longest name in the folder. Now there is a couple of extra centimetres in there for no discernible reason.
