You can toggle the From column (right-click on any column name > field chooser > drag the From column to whichever position you require). Do make sure that sent messages are being saved in the Shared mailbox's Sent folder for this to work. While this is the default behavior, it can be toggled off by an admin.
Once the column is visible, you can sort/filter/group on it as needed. Or you can do the following: open the Sent items folder, CTRL+A to select all messages (or messages in the desired range), CTRL+C to copy the metadata, then paste it in an Excel workbook and use the sort/filter functionalities therein.

- M_RivardJun 12, 2023Copper ContributorThanks Vasil! I tried your suggestions, and unfortunately the From column simply displays the shared mailbox name, not something like "[username] on behalf of [mailbox name]". Is there a way to change the From column setting so that it displays the unique username instead of simply the mailbox name? I right clicked and went into View Settings, and couldn't find any obvious options for accomplishing that.
