Email addresses and email names

An email address is a string like "john.smith@jamestowncolony.com". An email name is a string like "Smith, John" which might appear paired with an email address in a message header, like this:

To: Smith, John <john.smith@majestowncolony.com>

Email names are supplied by contact directories, which may differ from user to user, so it is possible for a unique email address to be associated with multiple email names.

To: Cristoforo Colombo <columbusc@expeditions.es>
To: Columbus, Christopher <columbusc@expeditions.es>

It is possible than an mbox export of a message may have an email name that is not paired with an email address.

Address info page

The address info page gives attributes of the email address. Counts of the number of times an email address appears in a From, To, Cc, or Bcc field are linked to corresponding message lists.
