Apply view to all folders

[Justin]

Greetings,

A user has numerous folders created under her Inbox in
Outlook 2000. She woule like to create a custom view and
then apply it to all folders automatically.

I can create a custom view easily, but can't find a way to
apply it to all folders other than on a one-by-one basis.
Is there a way to apply the view to all folders at one
time?

Thanks much,
Justin

You can't apply it to all at once - unless you customize the Messages view.

Even if I create a custom view for the messages view, it
does not apply to folders beneath the inbox. Were you
referring to something else?

Thanks for your reply.

You have to customize the Messages view - and for best results, you need to
use the /cleanviews switch to clean out all of the custom and one-off views.
Once all the one-offs are gone, all folders using the Messages view will use
the new customizations.

Start menu, run, type
outlook.exe /cleanviews
