The problem is that the 'Sent' search folder shows the field "Messages from" (or "Messages", just like the 'Inbox' search folder), instead of "Messages to", which would be the logical option, since I already know who sent the messages (me). And when I switch to "Messages to" in the 'Sent' folder, it also switches automatically to "Messages to" in the 'Inbox' folder, which doesn't make sense, since the receiver is always myself. In fact, any changes to the fields displayed in the 'Sent' folder are automatically applied to the 'Inbox' folder. This doesn't happen in the individual accounts folders, though, where the different options for received and sent messages are correctly maintained. Does anyone know if there is a way to correct this?

Hi Miguel,
in Preferences->Mail Preferences these is a field called
"Apply the same view settings to all folders"
Maybe you have that set to on.
