Outlook Views

As I understand Outlook font size, type or views will Snyc across multiple PC for a user.

I have following query:

1) How do check which PC that initiated the views changes?
    Is there a way to find out on this?

2) Can we stop the snyc? This will needed especially Outlook 2010 font type that not found in Outlook 2003, the Outlook will just pick any font type available.

3) Can we backup the views settings just incase user accidentaly change?

Custom views are saved in the pst file.

View settings are "backedup" in the pst file.

Hi,

The views are stored in the user's mailbox so it's synced across the machines. I didn't find a way to stop the sync or check the PC that initiated the views changes.

You can backup your views by these methods:

1. Copy the .pst and remove all email, calendar and contacts from it. Create copies of all views (in the Define views dialog) choosing "for this folder only" views.
2. Backup the .pst - views are contained in the folders in the backup. Like the method above, this doesn't work for sharing views, unless you make copies of all views in the Define views dialog.
3. Add a new .pst to the profile and copy views to it. Use this method to share views or backup views in an Exchange server mailbox.

We may find the detailed steps in the article below.
