Have you tried to unselect the sender column and reselect it ?
(click on the small last icon in the column group)

I don't have a sender column. that's the big problem. when i deselected the
recipient column and then selected it again, it didn't change the display. When
I first start the program, it starts with the sender column, then quickly
changes to recipient as it brings the messages up. it is for ALL mailboxes,
except in newsgroups. there, the sender is displayed.

Duplicate of bug 114533?

Reporter: Have you set mozilla to save a copy in the Inbox of mails you send?
In other words set the INBOX to be the Sent folder?

my sent messages are sent to a folder on the IMAP server. It is called sent
items. that works very well.

Reporter: For testing purposes have you tried creating a new profile? If you
have a POP account then in Account Settings, go to the Server settings and
select the option to keep messages on the server. Retrieve messages and then see
if you have a Sender column. I'm wondering if this is a problem specific to one
profile.

this is an IMAP account. I don't know how to change my profile.
