Thanks Milan! Although isn’t the default view ‘For Wide View’ when I
select ‘Vertical View’ in View → Preview? At least that’s the view I’m
getting on folders I haven’t customised.

I had created my custom view a long time ago from this built-in
Vertical View. Back then I had saved it under its own name. I hadn’t
realised that overriding the built-in view would essentially be the
same as bulk applying the change to (nearly) all folders.

I actually like it better this way. I can get my favourite view on all
the regular folders, as well as more suitable views on special folders
like Sent.

I’m now going to disable the ‘Apply the same view settings to all
folders’ option and enjoy an improved user experience \o/


I’m so glad I asked!

Thanks again,
Vincent
