  • oxp: list all SENT messages - how?

    From August Abolins@2:221/1.58 to Everyone.. on Saturday, June 15, 2019 00:25:00
    Hello!

    How can I list all SENT messages in one convenient screen list?

    As far as I know, you can't.

    I have been using the tree-view to find some of the messages I've sent,
    but that is turning out to be not sufficient.

    The Message/Search only searches incoming netmails.

    Using search criteria "Sender" only applies to incoming messages. :(

    Why is there such a restriction/oversight on this matter? :(

    IMO, OpenXP's search function has always been somewhat lacking and
    somewhat of a "black art". Instead of messing about in the addressbook
    to find Sent Netmail, it would be a much better idea if there was a
    single Sent Netmail folder. That doesn't answer your question but one
    has to point a finger at the original design of CrossPoint(circa
    1992).
