Outlook – How to reset outlook 2010 options to default settings

If you also have to use Outlook, for me it worked with a small VBA macro:

1. In Outlook open your Visual Basic Editor (+ or Extras → Macro → Visual Basic Editor)
2. I did this in german, so the names may vary a bit: In Project1 (VbaProject.OTM) open Microsoft Office Outlook Objects → ThisOutlookSession

3. Enter the following Code:

   Private Sub Application_ItemSend(ByVal Item As Object, Cancel As Boolean)
   
   'add reply-To address
   Item.ReplyRecipients.Add "office@example.com"
   Item.ReplyRecipients.ResolveAll   
   End Sub
   

This worked for me with Outlook 2010.

1) In the left hand navigation pane, click on (highlight) the .pst file where the "missing" emails should be showing. Or, if the emails are just "missing" from a folder or subfolder, click on that folder or subfolder.

2) Click on the "View" tab on the top of the Outlook window.

3) On the far left side of the ribbon in the "Current View" section, click on "Change View."

4) There should be 4 options:

 Hide Messages
 Compact
 Single
 Preview

5) "Hide Messages" is probably the option presently applied, so click on the option you would prefer instead, and your emails should appear in your email window in the format you have just selected.

6) If "Hide Messages" does not appear as an option, click on any option other than the one presently applied and let the drop down box disappear. Your emails should appear in the email window in the format you have just selected. Then click on "Change View" again and choose your original format (assuming that this format is still what you want), or choose another option altogether. Your emails should now appear in the email window in the original or newly-selected format.
