TO and FROM fields as a single field in a view

R

Robert Walls

From a view perspective:
1-I am not interested in the FROM field of mails I sent, because I know
these are from me.
2-I am not interested in the TO field of mails I received, because I know
these were sent to me.

Bottom line: I need to define a single field in a view, which will contain
the TO field (for mails I sent) or the FROM field (for mails I received).
And, of course, be able to sort by this field.

Can anyone help me do this?

Right-click in the view header, choose columns, drag off the column you
don't want, and drag on the column you do want.

I need to represent the information in the TO or the FROM column into one
column, say "Name" column, depending on whether I sent the e-mail or received
it..

For example:

I received an e-mail from Mr. A
TO=Me
FROM=Mr. A
Name=Mr. A

I sent an e-mail to Mr. B
TO=Mr. B
FROM=Me
Name=Mr. B

The Sent Items folder contains items that you *sent*. So customize the
view for that folder to add the To column (and not have a From column).

The Inbox and other e-mail type folders will contain items that you
*received*. So customize their view to add the From column (and remove
the To column).

If you are dragging or moving received and sent items into the same
folder, you'll have to add both the To and From columns.
