Since March 18, all e-mails I have sent using my Hotmail account from Outlook Express only indentify the recipient on the sending computer. The Hotmail website and any other computer I sync "sent messages" to show myself as the recipient. Also, until today when I ran the "not critical" OE 6 update, one of my computers could not even identify the recipient when the e-mail was sent using OE on that computer, though all my other computers at least could do that.

If I send an e-mail from the Hotmail website, the recipient is properly identified in the "Sent" folder; the problem only occurs using OE 6.

I have the premium (paid for) Hotmail account (not sure you can even send "free" Hotmail from OE any more, can you?).

Any ideas? Has anyone else encountered this?

ps, If I open the message, I can see the recipient. It's only when viewing the whole folder. I would really like to see the recipient in the folder view -- it help to identify messages I'm looking for.

Hi Steve

In OE, in the Sent Items folder...what does it say in the "To" column ?
Is it blank, or does it show the email address you have sent the email to?
Are you wanting the recipient's name to show under that column?

That's where it shows me -- yes, I would like it to show the recipient. And for all e-mails prior to March 18, that's what it does show. From March 18 forward it shows me instead. If I open the e-mail, it does show the recipient. But that doesn't do me any good if I'm looking for an e-mail I sent to a particular person and want to sort by "To:" in order to find it.

By the way, if I do Edit/Find and search for the recipient's name, OE will not find the e-mails sent to that recipient after March 18 even though, as I said, their name appears in the "To:" field if I open the e-mail.
