  • recipients not shown in the sent mail folder

    From Jean-Pierre Coulon@coulon@cacas.pam.oca.eu to comp.mail.pine on Wed Mar 18 09:14:45 2026
    From Newsgroup: comp.mail.pine

    When I send a mail with a smtp server other than that I've put into "SMTP Server (for sending)", using a role, when I open my sent mail folder afterwards, in the list of sent mails, I see Jean-Pierre Coulon instead of the usual To: field with the recipient of this mail. This is my Personal Name in the options of my setup.

    Is it a bug or a feature ? Can I correct this somewhere in SETUP Config?

    I don't use the specific setup like you do, but I had a similar issue
    after importing old folders which have been filled with messages from a different From-Address.

    The solution was to add those addresses to the Alternate Addresses list
    in the setup configuration.

    Thanks, it does the job. I'll read the corresponding Help.
