Option to display "Label" or "E-Mail" instead of "Name" in account selection

Open mpathy opened this issue 6 months ago • 3 comments

I have a lot of mail accounts, which I added to Snappy Mail. Now I have a big list, and every entry displays my name, because they are all my mail accounts. This makes SnappyMail unusable.

Please either put a selection in the setting on what to display: Mail address, Label or the Name. Or just use the label field for it instead of the name field. I mean, thats what it is there for in every other webmailer I know of.

For other people with this problem, my current workaround was to directly edit the template (app/templates/Views/User/SystemDropDown.html) from: <span class="accountPlace hide-mobile" data-bind="text: accountName(), attr:{ title: accountEmail }"></span> to: <span class="accountPlace hide-mobile" data-bind="text: accountEmail, attr:{ title: accountEmail }"></span> ..but for the dropdown it doesnt work, and sometimes even this doesnt work. The MVC structure of this project is really special and I doesnt seem to understand it properly.

Hi,

are your sure with your observation? On my instance the name of the account is displayed (Settings > Account > Update Account > Name) and this name can be changed. This name doesn't interfere with the identity for my e-mailadress.
