Yesterday I tried to forward an email previously sent to another person. When I checked my sent folder today in the correct slot for this forwarded email it states the original receiver and date that first email was sent. If I click into it it shows that it has been forwarded to the new recipient. When I order my sent emails by date I would like to see who received each email in date order. how do I do this?

What you are asking is akin to ordering a petitions with many signature by date signed, but there is only one petition.

You only have the date you sent the email available to soty by. Thunderbird keeps no record of when or even if they got the email.

Available fields for columns and also sorting can be seen and selected by right clicking the headings on the mail lists. Clicking a heading will add it to the heading on the list. Unselecting will remove it from the heading list
