Apple Mail - Sender name and address displaying incorrectly

Strange problem. If you view the message at the gmail webmail site, does it show the same way?

You can also test this by sending the same way from the webmail site and see if the results are the same.

This could be something due gmail, rather than the Mail application.

First try selecting the Mailbox and use Rebuild from Mailboxes in the menu.

If the rebuild function doesn't work, try reindexing mail. Follow these steps:

Quit Mail.

In the Finder menu, select Go, then Go to Folder and paste this path and hit Go:

~/Library/Mail/V3/MailData

In the Finder window that open to that folder in your user library, move all files with Envelope Index or ExternalUpdate to the trash. Open Mail and hit continue and let it finish. It may take a while if you have lots of email.

See if that helps.

Select one of these replies, then select View -> Message -> Raw Source. In the window that opens, there should be lines which start with "Received:". That will allow you to track the message from originator and should provide a clue as to why this is happening.

It looks like the "From:" field there has exactly what Mail is showing.

Take a look at the same raw source in your browser. You can do that by clicking on the arrow by the right side and clicking "Show original". Compare that with what you see in Mail.

If you try to open a message and instead see an alert telling you to take the account online (but it’s already online), or messages appear incomplete, garbled, or incorrect, try these suggestions.
