I want to move the messages from my SENT folder to another to save them ( I
have over 3000 & think its getting big enougH.). but when I try to move them
they do NOT keep the sent to information.
I can move them to my DRAFT folder without losing that information, but that
does not help.

what can I do to get these saved with all the "TO:" information correct


From: Michael Santovec on
The TO information is still there. You just aren't seeing it in the
message listing.

There are only two sets of mail folder headings (View, Columns):
- Sent Items, Outbox and Drafts use one set
- Inbox, Deleted Items, and all user created folders use the other set

Even though a user created folder is arranged as a subfolder to Sent
Items, it is still going to use the same column headings as the Inbox.
What you can do is add both the TO and FROM columns to the Inbox so that
the TO column will be available in the other folders. I also find the
TO column useful in the Inbox since I can easily spot mail sent
specifically to me rather than a group.

The OEX program lets you individually customize the folder columns on a
per folder basis:

have "to" to choose from

You don't need the OEX program Unless you want to be able to have
different columns in different folders.

You probably selected View, Columns while in a newsgroup. It doesn't
apply there. Switch to a Local folder (e.g. the Inbox) and then you'll
get the TO column as an option.
