How to make "Company" appear in company column

For some reason I cannot get the company name from an
address book contact to appear in a mail folder column
called "Company," that I added using the "customize
current view" tab. This makes it very difficult to find
a specific email in a folder, and I cannot sort by
Company, which would also be helpful.

When I change the contact view to "show empty fields," it
shows the company field as empty, even though the Company
box contains the company name.
 
The "Company" field used for the Contacts folder will not do anything if
used in a mail folder, because e-mail does not contain a corresponding field
to supply the data. (i.e. it will always be blank because the e-mail
contains nothing to fill it with).

Sadly, Outlook does not provide an option to display the from field as the
entry in the contacts Display As / File As field, which would solve your
dilemma. I too, would like to see this option.

Good Luck!
