Hi,
Acting on advice I've seen in this NG I do not use my Inbox and Sent Items
to archive mail, but move those I want to keep to another folder for safety.
This is fine with Inbox mail, but when I move Sent Mail into "Old sent mail"
it is listed with the first column "FROM". Since all of the items are sent
by me, the whole column lists only my name, making it more difficult to
locate a specific message I've sent. Is there a setting somewhere that I can
change to list the messaages in that folder by "TO" as it is in the real
Sent Items folder?
Using Win XP, OE6.
Thanks, ...... Fred

Old Sent Items is a local folder you created, I presume? The best you can do
is to Right Click on the Columns bar and select Customize. Select To and
Move Up above From. This will change it in some other folders as well, so it
is up to you if you want to do this.

I add a To field to the far right.

Thanks Bruce and Ron.

While following Bruce's suggestion and mulling over whether it would be
worth having all of the mail folders set up listing the TO addresses just to
get the "Old Sent Mail" folder the way I want it, it occured to me to just
add a TO column way over on the far right, instead of moving the TO up.
Feeling pretty proud of myself I returned to this NG to find that Ron was
suggesting the same solution.
I appreciate both replies and my problem is solved.
