Title:
  Email address name (name-addr) is always "Me" when configured as a
  local account

Status in “thunderbird” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Steps to reproduce:

  1- Configure an email account in two different profiles (or computers), with same credentials/server,but different name-addr information (name-addr is the "name" part of an email address, see 3.4. Address Specification of http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2822.txt):
  Email 1: Alice - Accounting <accounting@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
  Email 2: Bob - Accounting <accounting@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

  2- Send to the same account, once from each address

  3- Retrieve email. Both emails will indicate "Me
  <accounting@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>" as the display name, the name-addr has
  been replaced by "Me" even though both emails are sent from different
  values of name-addr.

  In some situations such role accounts are used to send/receive email
  by several people from a single account, the name-addr part of the
  email address should not be changed but instead show the correct
  value.
