'''Problem:''' Currently, in each custom mail folder there is a column for the sender of the message. For outgoing messages this is always ''your'' name. But you can't see the receiver! (Sure you can display the column for the receiver, but the result is redundant: You have two columns with only one information, since in one of the two is always your own name). | '''Problem:''' Currently, in each custom mail folder there is a column for the sender of the message.

'''Proposed Improvement:''' Combine the sender and receiver columns to one "sender/receiver" column. This column would always show the other person's name, and never your own. To differentiate between incoming and outgoing messages, use emphasis (e.g. print outgoing messages in italics) and/or prefix outgoing messages with boldface/italics "To: " and/or use another (small) column showing an icon. Best solution, of course, would be to let the user select the way of emphasizing (italics, color, icon(s), etc.). | '''Proposed Improvement:''' Combine the sender and receiver columns to one "sender/receiver" column.
