Lost the column with Names of sender one file folder

[Ann Molison]

I have probably 30 different file folders. I "know" how to move about each
folder. But somehow I lost the column which shows me the name of the sender
in one file folder. I've closed and open all options. But "from" doesn't
show up.

Any suggestions for this frustrated Outlook 2007 user would be gratefully
received.

Thank you,

Ann

Despite what you may "know" you have conveyed no information that could make
sense to anyone but you. Try again. You might want to consider including
things like what view you are using, how you have that view configured and
what you mean by "file folders." Specify what "closed and open all options"
means.

Dispaly the folder that is missing the FROM column.
View > Current View > Customize current view > Fields
In the "Available fields" column, select From and click the Add button.

It is clear I didn't make myself clear. I am using Outlook 2007 for my
incoming and outgoing e-mails. I have created numerous folders for incoming
emails to go into.

Today I found one folder was missing the heading "From:" with all the
appropriate name of the individual(s) for each e-mail. And, so - I have all
other headings - including the "envelope", "subject" , "received" etc. But
not "from". So when I look at that folder filled with e-mails - I don't
know who sent the e-mail.

I tried to find that "column" where "from" would be - but couldn't.

Why would it be missing and how can I restore it - and therefore the
identity of all those individuals who sent an email to me.

Do I need to create a new folder - move all those files over to it. Remove
the old and start all over again?

Or is there a simplier solution?

Thank you.

Or with a lot less click: Right click the column headers that are there,
Field Chooser, Drag the field you want up alongside the ones you can already
see.

The Field Chooser is on the Advanced Toolbar - I suggest you turn it on and
learn to use all the functions on it - that's where the good stuff is hidden
away!

Thank you Judy ! Second time I tried it worked just fine!!! Saves me a lot
of time moving e-mails over to a new directory.

I'll check your website out.

I clicked on rate this - and it wouldn't open ! But I would give your
response the highest rating !!!
