The Correspondent is not the sender of the emails.
In Thunderbird, many of the messages have incorrect information in the Correspondents field (please see image). Can this be fixed? I'm running Windows 10 with the current updates.
Thanks.

What version of Thunderbird are you using? Mine all have an arrow in the correspondents field indicating incoming and outgoing
68.2.0 (32-bit) -- this was downloaded 2 days ago from the Mozilla site.
Right-click the folder, Properties, click Repair Folder. This will re-index the folder and re-download the messages if it's an IMAP account. Any difference?
It looks good. I'll monitor more incoming messages to make sure.
Thanks!
And...not completely fixed. "All Top News--ScienceDaily" is listed as the Correspondent for 2 poetry messages.
If you view the account through webmail, are the poetry messages listed as from 'All Top News'? Also, in TB, is there any difference between the From column and the Correspondents column (right-click any column button to select the columns)?
Looking at the account using Firefox, the "From" is correct for the message. I added a "From" column and it matches the incorrect "Correspondent" column. And only some of the messages are mismatched, not all of them.
Is this an IMAP account? If so, I would rebuild the Inbox by deleting the mbox and .msf file from the profile folder, and allow TB to rebuild Inbox by re-downloading from the server, where it appears to be correctly indexed:
