Windows Live Mail 2011: Display Recipient Names in Sent Folder
By default the Sent Mail folder in Windows Live Mail 2011 displays only the subject of the emails. Without seeing to whom the messages were sent, finding old emails becomes very difficult. This tutorial describes how to view the recipient names in the Sent Mail folder.
1. Launch Windows Live Mail (WLM) 2011 and log into your account.
2. Go to Sent Mail folder.
3. With default settings, you will see all sent emails like this (with no recipient names):
3. Switch to View tab, click on Message list->One-line view. Now, WLM will display recipient names of the sent mails.

Thank you, Thank you. Reading directions can be confusing for someone who is not very computer saavy. I especially appreciate the visual help showing exactly where to go and what to click on. Problem RESOLVED!

This makes the display one-line view for all folders, though. Is there any way to preserve two-line view in other folders? I don’t want one line view in my inbox or other frequently used folders.
I can’t believe Windows overlooked this glitch.

I believe that we need some extra tweaks. I can’t find that function in WLM

The sender is visble in my sent folder but I can not sort on sender by clicking on the To column header. When I click on the To header it sorts by subject.

The solution described does NOT fix the “All Sent Items” view in WLM 2011. It would be nice not to have to go into each separate e-mail account’s “Sent Mail” to find the “To” line information listed!

Tutorial is OK for the current Sent Folder, but my emails get sent to the storage folder Sent, and there’s no option to select the recipient’s name! How do I stop the emails beinf sent automatically to the sstorage folders?
