If you add from & correspondent you get the same results. Shouldn't from show the second line with the actual email address? If not can this be done another way? Using version Version 115.9.0 if that makes a difference

Hi, Could you be more specific? Where do you add them? A screenshot could help as well!

I see. If you change it to "Recipient" would do the trick. I think every field has their own purpose.

If I put recipient it puts my name. I'm trying to get it to list the second line of "from" the actual email address.

There is no "actual email address" column. Noe is it a second line. An email address in an email has the parts of "Display Name" followed by the email address. The following is such for an email from this forum.

Thunderbird by default replaces the recipient information as well as the sender with available information from the address book. It is considered "more friendly" but it is easily disabled in the settings.

What is not so easily disabled is Thunderbird's penchant to only display the display name in list views. Hence these feedback topics in the feedback and ideas site. https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/ideas/new-column-for-e-mail-address-of-sender/idi-p/38300 https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/ideas/show-full-email-address-when-mouse-over-sender/idi-p/29010

Perhaps you might like to participate or vote for the ideas.
