You mean you want to see the "From" tab in your sent folder at the top, like the rest of the tabs i.e. "to" "subject" "date" etc. ? You want to see the From tab is it?

ayoooo... sonang laa.

Go to your Sent folder and place the mouse cursor on any of the tabs there, like "to", "date", "subject" etc. Can place anywhere, as long as its on this row. Next right click with your mouse. You will see a small menu window. Choose the "Field Chooser" and click on it. You will get another window for your choosing which field that you wanted. Click on the "From" tab there and then hold it with your mouse while draggiing it to the row where the rest of the tabs are. You can slot it in any location you like. Easy!

mmmm... as far as I know there isnt a feature for specifieng the from as that is already fixed when you created your email profile. So every outgoing mail will have from at the recepient's side specifying what you put down when you created your profile. You dont actually specify this everytime you create an email. This is how I use in my Outlook. I dont think Outlook Express is much different from this.
Did you use the feature before in OE?

no J, was trying to find out only....

but my gmail emails was coming into OE... suddenly showing error.

my boss uses Windows mail (i think it is also Microsoft Outlook)... here he can choose the email id he wants to use to sent a particular mail. Then chooses his recepients.....

he also receives his gmail emails, coy a/c emails into this windows mails and his b/berry.

Since we dun want to use the domain and coy account.... he ask me to direct the gmail emails to my OE... it was ok... suddenly....error.

i tried to do the setting but still getting the error.

these are stuffs that you need to be "hands on" to troubleshoot. Cant imagine the solutions sitting behind a monitor screen like Im doing now. Wink

Dont you have IT support in your office to look at IT problems such as this? Who maintains your company systems?
