Hi all,

Since this is a question related to Windows Explorer, I hope this is the correct forum!

In trying to make my Outlook messages more bearable, I wanted to try to save the individual messages directly on the disk in their own directory (rather than using .pst files). Outlook lets me drag the messages directly to an explorer window showing the directory I want, and copies the message there using the subject field of the message as the file name. So far, so good.

However, there is no way to see who the message was from or when it was sent (the file date is the date it was created in the file system).

In Explorer the "View->Choose Columns" has options for "Sender Name" and a bunch of other things, but when I select this option, nothing shows up.

Any thoughts on how to make this work?

Thanks!
