In Outlook 2003 and Outlook 2007, the By Category view in the Contacts folder (and several other pre-defined views) had the expand/collapse option set to “As Last Viewed”. Always Expand/Collapse all Groups or use As Last Viewed
Outlook can save the expand/collapse state of your groupsīut doesn't do this for all views by default. If that doesn’t work, resetting the view and rechecking the option might solve it as well. Most likely this setting is set to “Always expanded” instead of “As last viewed”. Outlook has a View setting how it should handle the expand/collapse state for the Group By function. Is there any way to keep these Category groups collapsed? I prefer to have some Category groups always expanded and others always collapsed. Each time when I access that folder, every Category group is expanded, no matter how carefully I compress the Category groups or arrange them. I organize my Contacts folder by Category.
