Outlook 2010 display SCL
I have been trying to find a solution to displaying the SCL level in cached mode. There are a number of solutions out there but none seem to work for 2010. You would think .... Microsoft Office 2010, Exchange 2003 sp2, IMF v2 ....... its all MICROSOFT !!! I can see the SCL level in the message header, just can't get it to show in the inbox.
This is an older article from tech net blog. Will it help.
When making decisions on what SCL levels to set in the Intelligent Message Filter (IMF) configuration, it’s useful to see what SCL is stamped on particular mail. The deployment doc describes how to expose the SCL through an x-scl header when archiving messages in Chapter 6, “Storing the SCL Rating with Archived Messagesâ€. This allows you to determine the correct settings to set for the Archive directory. But the SCL property isn’t exposed to the end user when they try to determine why either a non-UCE message was in the junk mail folder, or why a large number of UCE messages aren’t being blocked before they arrive in the Junk-Mail folder. Just because the property isn’t exposed, doesn’t mean it can’t be though!
The following is an Outlook configuration file provided by Paul Bowden that will allow you to configure Outlook to expose the SCL property. Copy the SCL.CFG text and save it as SCL.CFG (in the same location as the .ICO files, usually program files\...\office 11\forms\language ID), then follow the instructions below to install it.
SCL.CFG:

Thanks for your reply, but it just doesn't do it for me.
*** I must use "cached mode", this will not work with cached, but thanks for your time.
It is so frustrating that its there but in cached mode, you cant use it.
I'm a bit disappointed with the appearance for Office 2010. It's a clean look, but almost too bland. Among other things, when in the Inbox, sorting by name or subject, the group header is barely distinguishable from the messages underneath.
In previous version of Outlook I seem to remember there was a different color for the heading box. I have tried to find a way to change the view, but all I can find is a font change for the top of the column and the row text, not group header. I would love to have options for a different font color, type style or box shading for the group header to draw it out. Any suggestions? Am I missing something?
I have also always wanted to be able to change colors or font styles on the folder view - with so many folders and subfolders, being able to highlight them would be very helpful.
