How to configure Apple Mail.app to show name from mail headers "From: " field and not from Contacts.app???
Apple Mail.app shows me always the name from Contacts.app (card is a read only download from global catalog), e.g.:
- "Service Address" front-desk@ourcompany.net
But we have more than one who use this address. And this people configure there clients as follow:
- name: "person1 first last" / address: front-desk@ourcompany.net
- name: "person2 first last" / address: front-desk@ourcompany.net
- name: "person3 first last" / address: front-desk@ourcompany.net
When I look to the mail headers, there are the correct names inside, but in Apple Mail.app the list view shows only "Service Address" front-desk@ourcompany.net. So I'm not able for differing the sender of mail without reading this.
And I do not want to manage a private address card for this address, because the people behind this address are changing all 4-6 weeks! The version I use before has done this correct, is El Captain a downgrade or have I to change to Thunderbird?
Have you tried asking this on the Ask Different site?

no, this depends not on "Smart Addresses"! (this as anticipatory response to the most likely simple answer) – mccpts – 2016-03-22T00:15:41.253
