Outlook 2003 Customized Folder Views

[Alex]

Hi everyone,

I've been searching about this topic and I found a couple of articles
regarding how to customize a view in Outlook 2003.

Articles like:
http://email.about.com/od/outlooktips/qt/et051805.htm
http://www.outlook-tips.net/howto/copy_views.htm
http://office.microsoft.com/en.../HA101209011033.aspx#1.

However, I'm still wondering if there is a way for the existing sub folders
to inherit a customized view from a different folder. For example, I have
about 25 sub folders under Inbox. I created a customized view for Inbox
(added the Received field). Now, is there a way that the existing sub folders
will inherit the new customized view from the Inbox folder without selecting
each sub folders and selecting the new customized view under Current Views?

Thanks in advance.

There is no built-in way for any folder to "inherit" a view from another
folder or to apply a custom view to multiple folders. There may be
third-party tools or custom code that can do it, however. I'd start here:
