When viewing the Sent folder, only "From" addresses are displayed -- which is
completely useles in this context.  I already know that I sent all the messages
in my Sent folder!  There is no option to select to view who the emails were
sent TO.  Viewing the "Sent" folder in Evolution vs Mozilla mail is a good
example of the usefulness of this.

Also, for the same reasons, it's quite pointless to have a search feature that
searches for Sender in the Sent folder...

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.View "Sent" folder
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Mozilla displays messages filed under "Subject", "Sender", etc

Expected Results:  
Displaying "sender" in the Sent mail folder is quite useless...  Instead, there
should be a "To" field that displays who the emails were sent to.

Compare with Evolution for a much more useful model.
Worksforme in build 2003061008 on Mac OS X 10.2.6. The 'Local Folders/Sent'
folder has a *recipient* field, not a *sender* like the other. Compare this with
the Trash folder for instance.

The 'Sent' folder on my IMAP-server doesn't have such a recipient-field though :
bug 168060. Reporter, is your Sent-folder stored on an IMAP-server ?
WFM, and I'm using IMAP. I see "recipient" in place of the normal "sender",
which is what I expect. If this is on an Imap server, then it is a dupe of
168060, as comment #1 suggested.

Yeah, this is the same as bug 168060.  I am using a Courier IMAP server.  Sorry
for the dupe report, I tried a number of searches in the database but didn't
turn up 168060 previously.

There really needs to be a 'Recipient' or 'To' column in the column table.
