Hello,

I was very surprised that Thunderbird does not offer an option to show the e-mail-adress of the sender in a column in the table (like the columns "From" and "Correspondents"). This new column would be very useful to quickly identify spam/junk e-mails.

This feature can be added with add-ons:

This feature seems very basic and simple and like it should not require an add-on.

If you do a Google search for this feature, then you find many people, who have asked for this feature for many years.

@wsmwkThanks for picking this up.

Can you already tell us which option is going to be implemented. There have been several different suggestions.

  • Both name and <Mail address> in the Correspondents column
  • Toggle option for Name or Mail address in Correspondents column
  • Additional Column for mail address
  • Hint when hovering over Name

Thanks in advance, Marcel

Not yet.  At the present time, the precise method of implementation waiting on the conclusion of a broader technical discussion which is in progress at https://thunderbird.topicbox.com/groups/planning/T0693b2fe630fea8e-M97606b1f6866e19c69ff4994

I really want this feature as I am receiving a lot of this type of spam and I have fallen for it in the past.

@wsmwk  As details are currently still unknown, it obviously is not possible to say *how good* these news are, *but* this must not be mistaken with 'not good'. Quite the contrary; I am really looking forward to see this being implemented, allowing Thunderbird users, who regarded this as an essential feature and remained on v102.15.1, to upgrade the application and/or not having to switch to B***erbird.

Hi, you can see the new feature implemented in Daily.

There are some settings to ensure that you can manage the display.

They are in Settings > Message List.

Here is also the official announcement from the team:

Let's give them kudos! they deserve that!

But they call it recipient's mail address, we need it for sender's full email address.

That's what we desperately need.

Or do I miss something?

I can't believe it took this long.

@C-Dark  - this is it exactly what it's shown - the sender.

@bogomil 
Do you know whether one can sort the respective mail folder, say Inbox, by the senders' e-mail addresses?
My point of reference is the Łukasz Kosson "Full Address column" add-on, which, as a result from the "Super"nova changes, ceased to work post TB v102.15.x.

FYI

The Full Address Column add on is working again.

Which can add To and/or From E-mail address columns to all e-mail lists.
