Folder Views / Fields

[Phil vK]

My SENT folder views / fields are the same as my INBOX. Everytime I create a
new folder in the main SENT folder, I have to use "Customize Views" to get
the fields the way I want them. Is there a way to set defaults so I do not
have to do it manually each time?
Thanks

Did you receive an aswer to this question? I've been looking for a way to do
this for severeal years with different versions of Outlook.

Subfolders, no matter what parent folder they have, are simply mail folders
and they get the "Messages" view by default. Just because you create a
folder underneath "Sent Items" doesn't mean that Outlook assumes it will
contain sent items and thus choose the "Sent To" view by default. You can
create a subfolder of Calendar and it will be a mail folder unless you
specifically tell Outlook to also make the subfolder a calendar.

There is no way to make a new mail folder start with the Sent To view (that
I'm aware).

Has anyone figured out how to do this? Alternatively, is there a way to
select several "Sent" subfolders and configure all of them at once with the
same columns (e.g. "to" instead of "from", "sent" instead of "receive"?

You cannot simultaneously change the view of multiple folders, as far as I
can tell.
