I get emails from a friend of mine and when i receive them they show my name instead of hers as the sender. I will often miss them because I often copy myself on important emails. In my address book, her email is correct. How can I fix this?

Does your mail account allow you to view the same message in a browser (webmail interface) to see whether this is a problem local to Thunderbird or actually exists in the message on the server?
