Summary view for folders with type Inbox / Sent items
 
#1
0  
Summary view for original Inbox show From field.
Summary view for original Sent items show To field.

I create 2 new folders for type Inbox & Sent items.

Summary view for New Inbox works fine - show From.
Summary view for New Sent items works wrong - show From - should be To.

Problem is that the TB doesn't know that my folder is type Sent items. Is there some way to mark, change type of the new folder that Summary view show To? It looks that all new folders are type Inbox.

I don't use the summary view so I don't know whether this will work, but you could try creating a separate view mode for sent items that excludes the From field, and assigning it to the folder.

Actually, first check which view modes are used for the various folders, maybe the appropriate one already exists.

I try it already.. I create two separate views but result is the same. Summary view is defined by TB and you can't influence it.
I think it's hard coded: if "Sent items" then switch From -> To. Therefore other folders are always From.

I tried it myself and it seems you're right. Actually, my folder is called "Sent Mail" and the summary view always shows the From field. I never realized different behavior was possible.

You could contact support using the link above and ask for a (quick) fix. Honestly, they should really make the summary view react to view modes - as it now stands only message filtering works. But that would certainly take time, if they get to it at all.

Not really, you can have both From & To in view mode and Summary view doesn't know what should use.
Solution is probably to have folder types: In, Out and maybe In/Out (for Trash, virtual *All* where it should work different..)

It can have it's own logic, yes, but after respecting what's in the view modes. That would only make sense.

As it stands, TB's preferences and other types of settings are in shambles: summary mode not respecting view modes, the conversation view not respecting viewer settings...

Currently there is no solution for this. Here is reply from support, just for other users that have same problem.

TB Support: Indeed, there is no way to change the "type" of the new folder to  display the right headers in the Summary View. At this point we cannot  offer any solution. We will discuss the issue with the developers.
