Show contact's name instead of email address
« on: July 22, 2010, 01:18:02 PM »
Instead of showing the sender's email address in the inbox, could you show their name from the Contact List? So much easier for my kids to identify an email as from Grandpa if it doesn't say it is from [email protected] or somesuch.

Thanks

Thank you for your suggestion.  I believe that I will make an enhancement to show the sender's name instead of their email address in the inbox.  This will not necessarily be the name that is in the contact list, but rather the name the user has setup in their email account.

For example, let's say that your son's/daughter's grandpa's name is Gerald Freeman.  Gerald has his name as Gerald in his email account and sends your child an email.  That will be the name that will show up in your child's inbox once I make this enhancement.

Thanks again for your suggestion!
