I (again) am trying to set up an archiving system for my Hotmail accounts. I've tried the old Outlook Express technique, but can't seem to archive emails in such a way that the list of emails in the archive shows the the sender and date.

For example, in Hotmail, the email lists show FROM, SUBJECT, DATE, and SIZE. Once I've stored the emails in an archive file, all I see is the SUBJECT. I try customizing the folder, even adding "author" or "description" to the headers, but nothing shows me who the email is actually from. I have to actually open the email file to see the source.

I can't help but think there's some better way. . . some program that emulates Hotmail, but stores email on my pc.

Suggestions?
