That method doesn't work on Mac because the fields can't be selected separately. On Windows, it's easily fixed by resetting the field.

This can also happen in Outlook for Windows.

Things I've found while researching this: Is this normal for Office for Mac 2011? How can I fix this, so that the list shows the recipients' names instead of endlessly reminding me of my own name?

I guess it's reassuring to be told that every email that I sent was sent by me and if I was ever to forget my own name while browsing my sent emails folder, it'd be super useful, but it's not very helpful for navigating sent emails. There's no clue at all as to who these emails were to, until I open each and every one.
