Hi

I am having trouble moving emails from the Sent folder to other folders.
When I move an email, the date and recipient details disappear. All I end up
with is the Subject.

Can anyone tell me a way to move emails from the Sent folder without losing
the information?
 
How are you trying to move them?

It sounds to me like the folder into which you're placing the messages needs
to have more fields added to its header bar. Right-click on the header bar
where it says "Subject" and choose Field Chooser. Drag the fields you're
missing tot he header bar.
 
Thanks, Brian. Works perfectly. Is there any way to make the change for all
the folders at once, or do I need to do it serially?

Normally, the fields you are lacking will be displayed, so something must
have removed them. That may be a custom view. Try starting Outlook with
the /cleanviews switch (although I don't know if Outlook 97 has that switch.
Check Help for "command line").
