I want to see an e-mail address rather than the 'name' in my in-bo

Does anyone know how to get the e-mail address to show, rather than the
'name' when you look at your in-box. I sometimes want to look for e-mails
from someone but can't find them because Outlook has used their name rather
than their e-mail address. Fine for friends, but not for business e-mails.

Outlook always show what the sender specified as their "friendly" name (what
Outlook labels "Your name" in the account properties). There's no way to
change that without a custom form.

Here's an example for how to achieve that with VBA. In brief, it adds a
custom field to incoming emails and puts the sender's address into it; then
instead of displaying the From field display the the new custom field
"SenderAdress". For running the code you need to install the Redemption,
which is free for your personal use (see www.dimastr.com):
