In that folder there should already be 3 setions From,subject,Received?

If you have any of these there like From there should be a seperator like this.. |.. put your mouse on it until it becomes a cross then click and hold move left to right you should beable to see the others sections???

Thanks Yoda, For some reason the (Received Section) wasn't there. It was under the scroll down tab. One of these days I'll learn I guess. Thanks again.

gogreen1 : You may have already figured it out..but just in case. Above the list of email..the gray area (with column headings in it)..right click, and then click on "columns". Then you can add or delete columns according to your tastes/preferences. I just have "To", "Subject", "Sent", and "Size" on mine and the "attachment" paperclip..but you can put other things in or out. I had some trouble figuring how many pixels ought to be in each column, so set it on 22 pixels, but don't think it matters too much because you can hover your mouse over the little "bar" between the sections, and then just "drag" the little bar to whatever size you want.

Edit: Was looking at my Draft folder settings when typed above. In my Inbox folder, have "From" (not "To"), "Subject", "Received" (not "Sent"), and "Size." Also, correcting the 22 pixels stuff..it says 110 pixels for "Received" and 200 for "Subject"..but as I said, you can adjust the width of the columns with your mouse.
