Hello everybody...

[ I send this message again in case it eluded your attention the first time ... I have seen no comment on that so far by Sam or any other member of the list ... ]

A question about the layout of the Sent folder in webmail.

In folder Sent the messages have the reciepient's (To) address in the From/To field, while the messages in Inbox.Sent.2004.<date> archive folder have the sender's (From) address in the From/To field. This is the case with Courier 0.45.4 as well as 0.48.2 which i have just installed and checked.

I see what you mean.

The sender's (From) address is not very helpful when searching for an old message in these archive Sent folders, since the sender is usually/always me. Is it possible for archive Sent.2004.<date> folders to have the reciepients (To) address in the From/To field ?

I agree; however, I'm not sure that it's terribly easy to search through by manually going through all of these folders looking for some message you sent, unless you're a lot better about remember exactly when you sent mail than I am ;)

Since I have access directly to the mailstore, I use grep for some searches. Other searches I perform using an IMAP client.

I guess I just see the webmail as a nice way to get at my messages when I'm out of the office and don't want to take the time to set up a client. I do not try to use it as a complete replacement for a full-featured email client.

So, to sum it up, I don't try to do that, I had never noticed that issue, and I don't know the fix; however, since you will probably repost again if nobody answers, here's your answer... Maybe one of the two workarounds will work for you.

Any suggestion/hint would be most wellcome Thank you in advance
