Default fields for all mailboxes

[Dave T]

I'm trying to change the default view on multiple mailbox folders so
that it shows the "From" field, hides the "To" field, and sorts by
date received instead of by attachment. I can do this on a folder-by-
folder basis, but that's an obnoxioulsy time-consumming task. Is
there a way to specify what the default configuration of fields is?
Is there a way to set the fields in multiple folders at once?

Thanks.

My set-up is:
Outlook 2007 from Office 2007 on XP Pro SP2 reading from an Exchange
Server

Don't change the View template of the folder but of the mailbox instead;
View-> Current View-> Define Views-> Messages-> Edit...

Note that it will only affect folders that are still in the default Messages
view. To reset all views on all folders start Outlook with the /cleanviews
switch
Start-> Run; outlook.exe /cleanviews
