Default Eudora to I.E. 6 Problem

Hi folks,

This is a rather annoying little problem, and I hope that I am posting
this in the right place. Any help would be very much appreciated.

I am importing messages from Eudora 5.1 into Outlook Express 6. My ISP
(e-mail provider) no longer supports Eudora (long story - basically
they are using a new Spam guarding program which they claim will not
work properly with Eurora?) Anyhow, when I've imported the messages,
all of the messages that were sent "TO" someone else and hence are very
easy to archive/search, now appear in OE 6 as being "From" me. This is
a real drag when it comes to locating older messages that you have
archived. If I have all received/sent messages on the same subject in
the same folder, I have to now keep two columns "To" and "From" to see
all of the information that one column used to give me before.

This seems to stem from the fact that Eudora very cleverly did not use
"To" or "From". They merely used "Who", keeping the user out of the
loop as you always knew that you were the recipient or the sender.

Now, I am well aware that OE has an option to show both "To" and
"From", but I don't really want to go down that route. For future
messages, I guess that I can keep them all in the "Sent Items" folder
for easy access. But is there a way to keep all related messages in the
same related folder where I can see "Who" they are from or were sent to
alone, without having to look at "From" and "To"?

Hope that wasn't too confusing. It's likely just something that I will
have to learn to live with. OE users may not be sympathetic, but former
Eurdora people may be
