Outlook Banter - View Single Post

The point is that the message comes from an email address, for example
. However, Outlook will show it in many different ways.
It may show it as an "alias" such as "Russ Valentine". It may also display
it as "'Russ Valentine" (note the extra single quote). I have the same
person with the same email address that is displayed in the "From" field in
3-5 different ways.. Consequently, if you want to find all emails that came
from it is very difficult and sometimes close to
impossible if you don't know all the ways outlook has filed emails from that
email address.

It's a mess. I want a simple way to find all the emails that were sent from
one email address. I don't have it now.

Since the From field is controlled by the sender and could be anything the
sender chooses, why would you ever want to sort on it? What's the point
here?

How can a sort messages by the email address. If I click on the "From"
field, it has messages listed by various alias (i.e. "File as"). The
same email address can have several different alias', so I often can't
find all the emails from one email address.

It was suggested that I could "Right click on the column header, select
Field Chooser and add the Account field.", however, this did not work.
(The "Account" field in "All contact fields" does not show anything.
There is an "Email Account" field, but that is who the email is sent
"To". I want who it is sent "From" and the "From" field is listed by
alias, not email address.

Any suggestions?

Thanks for any help
