Outlook 2003, View - IMAP Messages, set view does not appy to other mail folders

[Mark]

In Outlook 2003 I click View | Arrange By | Current View | Define Views. In
the Custom View Organizer higlight IMAP Messages, click Modify, make
changes, click OK to close the 'Customize View: IMAP Messages' window, and
click Apply View in the Custom View Organizer window.

When I view another IMAP mail folder, I have to go through the same steps
again and again. The view for all mail folders show IMAP Messages, but the
set view is not taking affect. Is this a bug in Outlook 2003?

I am trying to set all the IMAP mail folders to a particular view that I
like to use, but it seems like a cumbersome and tedious process.

Unfortunately Custom Views in Outlook are done on a per folder basis and I
am not aware of any way to apply one view to multple folders without
setting it up for each one individually.

I hope this information is useful.
