Use Smart Addresses

A Smart Address shows a recipients name instead of name and email address. This makes
it easier to see who youre emailing.

Mail can show Smart Addresses for people in the Contacts app, in the Previous Recipients
list in Mail, and (if youre connected to network serverssay at work), on available CardDAV,
Exchange, or LDAP servers.

If youre reading a message, move the pointer over a persons name to see the Smart
Address arrow. If youre sending a message, the arrow is always shown.
Show Smart Addresses when reading messages: Choose Mail > Preferences, click
Viewing, then select Use Smart Addresses.
Show the email address for a Smart Address: Click the arrow in the Smart Address.
Add a Smart Address to Contacts: Click the arrow in the Smart Address, then choose
Add to Contacts.
Edit a Smart Address when sending a message: Double-click the Smart Address, then
edit it.
Delete a Smart Address when sending a message: Select it, then press Delete.
