Default Sent Items (names are from sender, not recievers)

Hi,
I'm having problems with my Sent Items folders. ( Outlook 2007 and WM6
messaging for all accounts)

My Sent Items folders for all accounts window live( Outlook Connector),
Google(POP3) and Yahoo (IMAP) are showing the sender's name (me) and not the
reciever's name.
So it's difficult to find who I had sent messages before.

How can I set set everything up to show the recievers in the folder.

Note: Before I was using Outlook Express and WM5 without any problems.

Thanks a lot for your help.

Escobar, you can modify the view to show different fields with View | Current
View | Customize Current View | FIelds.

Default Sent Items (names are from sender, not recievers)

Hi Bruno,
To have your desired view perform the following steps.
1) Click on the sent items folder
2) Expand the sent items (middle) column or pane
3) In that column right clik the title bar and select "Feild Chooser"
4) From the feild chooser drag the "To" feild next to the "From" in the
title bar of the sent items column or pane.
5) After adding the "To" feild right cick on the from feild and select
"Remove this column"
6) now you will see the recievers name instead of the senders name and
you ca resize the middle pane

Hope this solves your issue.

Hi Roady,
I tried the "Sent To" view, but correct me if i am wrong that doesnt work as
the way we want. it groups evrything and shows the recievers address or name
on top of the group.

it doesnt show the recievers name on the mail view.

That's because you've got your current View- Arrange By set to "To". Set it
to "Date".
If you don't like grouping at all, you can also disable it there.

By default it arranges by date. If that's not the case for you, you might
want to reset the view back to its default values.

Default Sent Items (names are from sender, not recievers)

Hi - I am having this same trouble, but with my Smartphone. Although the
view settings are perfect on my desktop, my Exchange 2003 synced PDA displays
my sent mail folder with the sender instead of the recipient. Since there
are no view settings available in mobile Outlook, I'm at a loss...anyone able
to help me?
Thanks in advance!
