Hi there,

I wonder if it is possible to change the name shown in the list of the inbox mail, the one in the first row, to the one related to the contact (via the contact's email).

If I go to the message the "From" is correctly displayed with the contact's name, but in the inbox the name displayed is the one configured from the email itself.

For instance, the "From" field in the email says "This is the username <blablabla@dkfjdkfd.com>", so the mail.app displays "This is the username". But I have a contact with that email with the name "My name". I would like the list to show that. If I open the email, it displays "My name" in the From field.

Actually this is also true for the Mac OS X Mail.app, and I don't know if there is a way to change it.

Thanks in advance.
