Sometimes it is not so easy to identify spam in the inbox. The subject and the sender look OK and only when I click on the mail to open it, I can see the email adress to identify spam.

It would be helpfull to see the full sender address when mouse over the sender in the inbox. Even better, when a spam button would be directly included with the mouse over bubble with the full email.

This is a great idea! I would use it all the time. Currently I add extra columns and have used extensions to get a similar effect.

  1. Show Full Sender's Email Address on Mouseover: When a user hovers their mouse over the sender's name in the inbox, the full email address of the sender should be displayed. This will allow users to quickly verify the sender's identity without having to open the email.

  2. Include Full Email Address in Columns Drop-down: To further enhance visibility, the full email address of the sender should also be included in the columns drop-down. This will allow users to have the sender's full email address displayed at all times in their inbox, without the need to hover over each email.

Benefits

  • Enhanced User Convenience: Users can quickly view the full email address of the sender without having to open each email.
  • Increased Security: By being able to quickly verify the sender's email address, users can avoid opening potentially harmful or spam emails.
  • Improved User Experience: The proposed changes will make the email client interface more user-friendly and efficient.

Definitely a good Idea, any way of showing the real sender's address before opening will increase security.

As with 115 full sender's address plugin stopped working, currently there is no way. In a time where faking other's address has been a standard way for phishing I am wondering why this is not a standard feature. I for myself will downgrade until there will be a working solution.

This needs to be upvoted. It is so easy to spot phishing attack if you can see the full email address easily.
