Applying a customized view to all folders in Outlook 2003?

[Thundersmash]

I just installed Outlook 2003 and it looks great .. I haven't figured out
how to apply a customized view to all my folders though. If I remove a
column (e.g. "size") from my Inbox, it does not carry over to all my other
folders like Drafts, Sent, etc.

How do I get my customization (removing the "size" column in this example)
to apply to all folders in Outlook?

Thanks!

By changing the Messages view;
View-> Arrange By-> Current View-> Define Views...-> select Messages->
button Modify

Although the method isn't fail proof and it won't change the view of the
folder who are in a modified view already this will still save you a lot of
time adjusting the folders. For the folders which didn't change after you
modified the Messages view there is no other way than to do it manually.

Hi Randy,

I tried your suggestion, and it only changed the view for the folder I was
currently viewing. Do you know if there is a way to apply a custom view to
all folders? I've probably got over 50 folders now and want to remove the
"Size" column from all of them.

Thanks for the advice!
