I recently shifted my email provider to Gmail (using IMAP) in Windows Live Mail and have had some trouble with the column views in the folders. 

No matter what I do, the Inbox and Sent folders always show the same columns.

So, when looking in the Sent folder, I see my own address listed in "From" but cannot see who I sent the message to. If I change the columns in the Sent folder to show the "To" column and not show the "From" column, it changes the "Inbox" folder to do the same making it so I can't see who the messages in my Inbox are from. 

When I was with my previous provider, I used POP3 instead of IMAP, and was able to give my Inbox and Sent folders different columns. Is this a known issue with Gmail?

Is there an easy way to fix this?
