Why is Office Outlook showing wrong dates/contact names in the Folder Pane?
A. By default, Office Outlook displays the Sent date and the contact name from the To field for messages in the Sent Items folder, and the server Received date and the contact name from the From field for messages in other folders. As a result, you may see unexpected dates and names in the Folder Pane for imported “outgoing emails” that are not saved in the Sent Items folder. To correct this display issue, simply move those outgoing emails to the Sent Items folder. The quickest way to do this is press the Ctrl+A keyboard shortcut to select all the messages in a folder, then use the Ctrl+Shift+V keyboard shortcut to open the Move to Folder dialog box, and then select the Sent Items folder in the list.
