A setting to optionally include the "From" email address in the Inbox View
There should be a setting to optionally include the "From" email address in the Inbox View (in addition to the email Display Name, which is the default).
I feel that not having this as an option is a security vulnerability. Here is an example: a local company (vet, physical therapy, chiropractor, etc.) outsources various aspects of online client interaction (feedback surveys, OTP, appointment reminder, billing, etc.) to various 3rd party companies. As a result, I receive emails from 4-5 different companies that all use identical Display Names ("XYZ veterinarian"). I have gotten used to the idea that it's normal to receive emails from 4-5 domains for one company that I patronize.
If I'm not careful, it would be incredibly easy for a malicious actor to slip in one additional email domain with an identical Display Name. Before I know it, I've clicked a link or entered my information compromising my account.
Without the ability to choose to view the actual Email Address in the Inbox View, it becomes easier to get phished.
P.S. I am aware that I can hover over the Display Name in order to see the Email Address, but if I have a lot of emails I'm reviewing quickly that becomes tedious.

indeed give us the ability to invert this, display email adress and show name when we hover, or just adjustable columns that show both just like customizing file explorer so we can adjust the size of the columns of name, email adress, subject, date ... .
i cant remember when this happend it must have been a decade plus ago, but this change to show name as defaut instead of adress makes it so hard to spot spam
showing a made up name instead of email adress actually makes it HARDER to IDENTIFY the sender. it is quite comical.
and please if it's done make it possible in the browser too not just the app.
