Is there a way to configure Outlook so that new mail folders have my
preferred view options when I create them? For example, I prefer the FROM
field be 25 characters, but when I create a new folder, the FROM field is
always 17.50 chars. I'd like to preconfigure other settings as well, such as
the column headers (I use very few), grouping, etc.

TIA

Modify the default Messages view.
