mail folder > modify view - settings not remembered

K

When I create a new custom mail folder view for "all mail folders", my
specified view is not remembered correctly in other mail folders.

Is this a known issue?
Is there a work-around?

In an Outlook Inbox sub-folder, I go to...
1: Customize Current View menu item
2: "Custom View Organizer" dialog box opens
3: I create a new table-based mail folder view named "New view"
and I select "on all mail and post folders"
4: I click button "Apply View"
5: my custom view is applied as expected
6: I immediately go to another sub-folder and select my
"New view" but don't apply it yet
7: below the list of views, I see a description of my selected view
and the description does not match: my "Group By:" and "Sort:"
were changed - if I click "Apply View", I don't get the view I entered

This is a problem because I work with many groups of sub-folders under my
Inbox and need a way to make them display a certain way. As it is now, I am
forces to set the view details on each and every folder manually. If I need
to change the view, then I must again go through all the details in the
Customize View wizard for every folder!
