This applies to all versions of Outlook. Since I'm using Outlook 2007 a solution for that version would be good. The reason is I'm looking for a solution is that I get emails from people sometimes that is sent from either of 2 email addresses but they use their same name in their "sent from" setup. All I can see in the inbox or sent folder is their header name, not their email address. Of course if I open or preview their message, not a problem. But there is no way to tell at a glance and the sort uses the "name" not the email. Finally the the search feature doesn't restrict to the email address only. For example [email protected] and [email protected]. A on From field will give both mixed together. A search under [email protected] will give me all Freds regardless of gmail or acme. Of course a search under gmail.com will give me all gmail entries - too much. I've simplified the actual problem, hopefully in the interest of clarity instead of cluttering the question with a lot of whys and wherefores. Thank you.

    This is so ironic that you have two seperate logins and you're asking about people with multiple email address.

Delete all your contacts, that is where they are "resolved". Disassociate from any LDAP or GAL directory service..

There could be a reg setting too..

Wouldn't it be easier to just add a column to the display: "Email address" and remove the from column?
