Mobile Version: show real email address

Nowadays, our mailboxes are spammed with fishing mails.
Most of them try to hide their real source behind a sender name, eg. "Deutsche Bank"[email protected].

In the mobile app I only see “Deutsche Bank”.

It is much easier to immediately discover fishing mails when I see the real sender address, but this is too complicated in the mobile em Client. In the desktop client we have the tool tip, not perfect but good enough.
Please add an option to show sender address instead of sender name.

It is already there, same place as on the desktop: Settings->Read->Show email addresses in email header

No

Setting is enabled, I can’t see your real mail address…

If I long press on the address, a Mini Tooltip appears, and it is completely covered by my finger. If I release, the tooltip disappears immediately. No chance to see the real address.

You could, alternatively, display the real address when I try to move the mail to junk - there I am being asked whether I want to put the mail address or the domain onto the blacklist:
What do you want to blacklist:
[[email protected]]
[*@thievery.com]

Setting is enabled, I can’t see your real mail address.

If the “sender name is too long” as in the below example screenshot on eM Client Droid, (even if you have show email address in header) then you won’t see the sender email address or you might only see a partial sender email address depending on how long the sender name is.

So to then see the sender email address for these type of senders with long names “press the 3 horizontal dots” on the far right of the sender email address and swipe down to th very bottom and press “view mail header”.


We‘ve recently added a feature that with long tap on the email address you are able to see the full email address as well.
