Column Settings in Windows Live Mail Folders - change one, change

I have installed the Windows Live Mail client [Build 12.0.1606] and have been
using it successfully for a while (although would dearly like a Calendar and
British English dictionary!). I currently use it exclusively to access my
Windows Live Mail account (Hotmail) on an xp3 machine.

My problem:
When I add an additional mail folder to store sent items on a particular
subject, I want to be able to change the FROM column (which it defaults to)
to a TO column when I am in that particular folder. (I have configured the
look and feel to display email list pane above and have the reading pane set
below) I realise I can right-click on any of the column headers to access the
"Columns..." menu and have successfully changed the FROM to a TO column.

HOWEVER, in doing so, this action changes the FROM column to a TO column in
ALL my other mail folders (default and ones I've created) except for my
default "Sent items" folder which displays TO.

My question:
Is it possible to change the column fields in one folder without it
affecting every other folder.

By the way - in Hotmail - the sent items folder I created behaves correctly
and displays the TO column by default.

One solution would be to display both FROM and TO columns but this up
valuable real estate for other columns I require.

Thanks in advance for a solution.
