I have transfered all my email from outlook express (XP) to a new windows 7
computer running windows live mail. All is good except for the sent items
list. It is showing myself instead of the recipient , why is this and is
there a way to correct it ?

Hi, viporpa.

This should work in WLM just about as it always has in OE: Right-click on
any column header, click Columns... and choose the ones you want. I see
both From and To as options. Note that you may some differences between the
columns in Mail from those in News.

Right-click on any column header, such as Subject, click Columns, then
add the To column header.

For all messages or just the transferred OE messages ?
If only the latter, how was the transfer accomplished ?

Both the To and From column entries show yourself? Very peculiar!
