[Bug 907051] [NEW] Email address name (name-addr) is always "Me" when configured as a local account

  Thread Previous • Date Previous • • Thread Next 
Public bug reported:

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" as the display name, the name-addr has been
replaced by "Me" even though both emails are sent from different values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.
