Outlook : customize current view

Question

I imported mailboxes from Eudora into Outlook 2002. In Outlook there is an option View > Current View > Customize Current View that allows me to modfiy a particular mailbox (font size, grid lines, etc.) However, this allows me to do only one mailbox at a time. I would like to apply this customization to all the imported mailboxes -- is there a way to do that in one step?

Thank you.

I'm using OL2000 and you can't do this natively using the Customize Current View option. However, you can go to View|Current View|Define Views and create a new custom view and there is a check box that lets you make the view available to all folders that have the same type of item, including mail folders. Once this is done, you can quickly open all those folders and apply the new view. It wouldn't be one step, but it would be a lot faster than customizing the view for each folder one at a time. I'm guessing it's pretty much the same in OL2002.
Hope this helps.
