Outbox in 2003

Why it won't show "From" in Outbox, I can get field in there but it is
always empty, why?

Presumably because it is sending from YOUR mail account.

Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact. Due to
the (insert latest virus name here) virus, all mail sent to my personal
account will be deleted without reading.

After furious head scratching, tim j. asked:

Why do you believe you need this field displayed?

Why do you believe you need this field displayed?

But when I have 5+ accounts want to see from which I am sending it.
perfectly logical request.

And which one would that be? since I have more of them

You can use the field "email account"

But that's not the purpose of the From field. It's used to select from a
number of Mailboxes in Exchange, not from among accounts in a profile. Use
the Accounts button for that.
