I have two AOL email accounts set up in Outlook 2007. On one account the
Sent Folder displays the recipient "TO"which is good. But on the other the
Sent Folder does not display the recipient "TO" it just displays the "FROM"
which I already know it's from me. Can anyone tell me how to change the
account so the Sent folder will display who the message is going to instead
of who it came from?
 
Check under the View | Arrange By (or View | Current View) to see if you
accidently changed the view to sort by "From" rather than "To".

I have the same problem but in the archive sent folder. I have tried
changing view as suggested but all this does is change the sort order
whilst still displaying a long row of my own name and not the
recipient's.
 
This is a bit draconian, but you can start Outlook 1 time with the
/cleanviews command line switch. This will delete all custom views and
reset the built-in ones back to their defaults.

Once this is done, you should be able to go to the folder in the Archive and
then select the "Sent To" view.
