Re: Can I apply my column format to all subfolders automatically?

Thank you for your reply, Brian. I'm not sure I know what you mean
about using the Messages view. The subfolders are under my Inbox and
and when I make changes to my Inbox it does not modify the columns in
my subfolders. I am making the changes by right-clicking on a column
heading, selecting "Customize Current View," then "Fields." I sure
appreciate any help you may be able to provide!

Start Outlook once with the /cleanviews command line switch to remove all view customizations, then click View>Arrange By>Current View>Define Views. Select the Messages view and click Modify. Make your mods. Those mods should now apply to all folders using the Messages view, which is the defailt view for all folders containing mail items.
