To and From box in outlook

's Computer Specifications

Am I overlooking the obvious. Withe the inbox highlighted, in the menu at
the top of the Outlook screen I see "to" ... "subject" ... "size" and etc.
Is there a way to show who the email is from at quick glance. Perhaps this
is not an option. If it is, it is not obvious. Is is possible that I have
this option hidden?Thank you for any help or direction here.

Sounds like you have your message view modified or even have it set to Sent
To.
The post link below describes the opposite but still applies. In your case,
make sure your view is set to Messages.

The normal view of the Inbox is to use the Message view, which will have,
among others, the From, Subject, and Received columns. If you're seeing
"To" instead of From, make sure your view is not the "Sent To" view. Add
the Advanced toolbar to Outlook and you'll be able to read the current view
directly from the View drop-down and change it if needed.

If you are using hte Messages view, it has been changed. Reset the view to
its default values. Exactly how is version dependent and you decided to
keep your Outlook version a secret.
