new column for e-mail-address of sender

[TheRupp]

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:

•  "Show Address Only" by R.I.P.
  https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/addon/show-address-only/
• "Full Address Column" by lkosson
  https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/addon/full-address-column/

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.

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

They are in Settings > Message List.
