I went through the pain of creating a custom view in Outlook 2010 and have it applied to all folders. However, I do not know how to save these view settings externally (as if creating/exporting a .pst file), so if I were to reinstall Outlook, all I would have to do is to import these settings instead of having to start all over.
I am also confused as to why, when I created a new profile in Mail (control panel>user accounts>mail), my view settings were gone and the saved view from my previous profile was not available.
