Guest guest Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 With my new Outlook, my messages showed who had written, the subject heading, when received and the size and time. Now, for some reason, and it must be something I have done, all I can see is in the first column 'Subject' - middle column 'Received' and third column 'Size'. Can somebody tell me what to do to get back my first column so I can see who has sent the message please. Luv - Sheila Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 Sheila, Right click your mouse on the area just above all of your messages that says 'size' 'date' 'subject heading' (on my computer the area is light grey in colour). When you right click your mouse, a list will appear. Choose 'field chooser'. You will see a list of items appear in a box. Click on 'from' in the box that just appeared and hold your mouse button down. Drag the 'from' field that appeared within the box and place the 'from' field where you want it to be (ie. next to the 'date' or the 'subject heading' field in your inbox). let go of the mouse button and Voila! You can now see who sent you the messages. P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 There is a faint marker on that line saying - "from subject, rec'd." place your curser on it and you may find you can slide these about and uncover what you need.

Guest guest Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 Hi Sheila, Right click inside the header that says subject (actually any of the three headers will work). Select 'Customize Current View'. Then choose 'Fields'. 'Available Fields' will be on the left. 'Show these fields in this order' will be on the right. Select 'From' in the 'Available Fields'. Click 'Add'. If you like an icon (open or closed envelope) to see at a glance that an email has been read, you can add it at this time too. To arrange the order the columns are displayed in your Outlook, just left click, drag and drop them into the order you want...OR...select the one you want to move, then click 'Move Up' or 'Move Down' until it's moved to the order you want. Then click 'OK'. There may be some slight variation in the labeling of these instructions (slight variations from one version of Outlook to the next), but the general meaning of all will be the same. hth, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 Oh Ollie and P - many, many thanks. I would never have thought of doing this in a hundred years. It now works beautifully and I can see who has sent me the message. Another little problem. I have somebody from the Isle of who is wanting to join our forum desperately, and she does not have a Account. However, when trying to register with , although it doesn't ask for her address, it asks for her post code and every time she types it in and clicks next, the next box tells her the Post Code is not accepted in this country. She has tried various post codes, with the same answer. She telephoned me and I gave her my post code to try, but again, it will not accept it. She is trying to register with the UK and Ireland co.uk and not the .com. Has anybody any ideas why this is and what she can do to get registered with please. luv - Sheila From: thyroid treatment [mailto:thyroid treatment ] On Behalf Of patersonia Sent: 02 December 2008 12:01 To: thyroid treatment Subject: Re: Outlook settings Sheila, Right click your mouse on the area just above all of your messages that says 'size' 'date' 'subject heading' (on my computer the area is light grey in colour).

Guest guest Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 Hi Sheila, Just above the list of messages there is a row of icons- try clicking the sheet of paper- I think that should fix it Stenning Subject: Outlook settings With my new Outlook, my messages showed who had written, the subject heading, when received and the size and time.
