Default Default Columns in Outlook Folders

I use a lot of folders to sort my incoming e-mail. Whenever I create a new one, it is populated with a set of default columns, one of which is "Mention." I don't use this one and don't even know what it's for. I've looked through the settings and can't find out how to change the default columns. Is this possible, and if so, how is it done? I would like to remove Mention and add a couple of others. Thanks for any help.




I am using Windows 10 Pro
Outlook 365

Try removing the Mention column header by r/clicking and clicking Remove This Column.
Should you want to put it back at some point, click an existing column header > View settings > Columns > Locate ‘Mention’ > Select > Add > Move Up/Down if required.
Add/Remove others by the same method.

Default This works, but . . .

Yes, this works, and I am aware of this method. While this does remove the Mention column for any new folder I create, it does not prevent it from appearing when I create a new folder. What I want is for when I right-click the column headers on a NEW column and choose View Settings, Columns for Mention not to be in the right-hand column ("Show these columns in this order). What I am trying to get away from is removing it each time.

Have a look at this link, it may be useful:

Microsoft Outlook 2019 Remove Mention Column Everywhere

I have tried it and it seems to prevent 'Mention' appearing in new folders as well as removing it from all existing.
