Same issue still in 78.3.2. All "Correspondents" in Sent mail have reverted to MY NAME.

I saw that this issue has been a problem for a few years now from a previous support thread that gave me no solution.

For example, if I send an email from antonio-example@exampledomain.com to recipient-example@differentexampledomain.com, the correspondents column in the recipient-example@differentexampledomain.com inbox shows that the email came from recipient-example@differentexampledomain.com even though antonio-example@exampledomain.com is the sender.

Not sure why this is happening all of a sudden. I've removed myself from the address book and this still occurs.

Hi Can you create a Recipient column in Sent folder, and remove the Correspondents column from view? Use the little icon on the far right of the column headers to decide which columns to include in the folder display. Here are some notes from the Thunderbird developers regarding why Thunderbird sometimes cannot identify that you are the sender, so shows you in Correspondents column when it should not. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1359843 Agnes
