Mike, first you can add an userdefined field manually to the Inbox and add
it to the view. Right click on the header column, select Field chooser and
click New. Enter "From Address" e.g.

Now use the ItemAdd event of the Inbox and from the Redemption the RDOMail
or SafeMailItem object. For both there´re samples on www.dimastr.com. The
objects can tell you the sender´s address. Simply copy it into the
userdefined field you have created above.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help me with this. I'm gonna blow my brains out if I
can't figure this out soon LOL!

I'm very computer savvy, but I have zero VB experience. I have been
searching for a way to define a custom column in Outlook 2000 that will
show
the sender's email in the Inbox. I know this is something they built-out
of
Outlook for security reasons, but it blows my mind that it is not
something
that I can choose to do. I cannot STAND viewing sender by a name that they
put in. It wastes my time dealing with spam, and I prefer to work with
contacts via their email addresses. I have found this complaint widespread
in
my search to do this task which should be simple and obvious to Microsoft.

My actual question is this. I installed Redemption and it does show in my
addins. I have found VBScripts (from Sue Mosher and a couple others) that
say
that this can be accomplished through Redemption or CDO, but I have NO
idea
how to implement them. I can open them in the VB editor in Outlook, but
the
whole thing is not very user friendly, and no one has published a simple
file
that I can copy into a directory, use as a form or whatever I need to do,
and
explained how to define a custom field that simply shows the sender's
email
address! This is INSANE to me LOL! I don't understand why this is so hard
to
track down.

PLEASE help. I can follow any complex instructions... I just need the
instruction.

Thanks SO much in advance. I have spent probably 15 hours just searching
and
experimenting trying to do this one little thing, and I am nowhere with
it. I
will most certainly switch to ACT or something that will let me show the
sender's email as a field in the inbox if I don't resolve this.

Thanks again!
