KMail 5.2.0 (currently not selectable in the "Version" drop-down) replaces my e-mail address in the To: or From: etc. header by a "Me" in the message view. To see the correct address and name I have to reach for the mouse and hover over it with the pointer. That's very inconvenient and useless (for me!). I know my own addresses... but as I am using KMail with a lot of accounts including "+"-suffices (the good support for this use case is one of the main reasons for me to use KMail) it's an unnecessary extra step to get all information. I couldn't find a way to deactivate that new behaviour. If you really want to keep it (it's quite possible that just _I_ don't see the use case for that ;-) ), please make it optional so that the user can opt for the "real" header. Reproducible: Always
Same problem here with 5.2.0 Here it uses the Dutch "Ik" that is "I" in English and wrong. It should be "Mij" but it is very annoying because I like to see the real email address because I have a couple and with "Me" I don't know what addres is used.
Same here (5.2.0) I know a (important) man called "ego", but no "Me"... Worse: this thing is written in answers, quotations, forwardings... no more aliases, only "Me"!!! Please make that new "feature" optional!

None of my identities is "Me" !! Should replace my identity (when I (yes, I, Me, The Only & Preferred User of My Computer, Myself The Best) choose it) by what I want: Julius Caesar, Attila, Maximilien Robespierre, poor myself, Google no more addict, "_^_", Ego©®™, ..., ..., or my mail address, is it too complicated?
I'm not a developer. I merely reported that when there are multiple identities, the next version of KDE PIM will not display "Me" anymore. For the rest, please look up https://www.kde.org/code-of-conduct when replying, thank you.

Perhaps something else should be fixed then. I always have an empty identity on top. So, in the settings [ empty identity] [1st identity ] [2nd identity ] [.. ] When I remove the empty identity, after a short time it is back. That means that there are always more than 1 identities. It is not a problem for me, but in that case the "Me" will never show up. Perhaps..
"should make "Me" change when there's more than one identity" Must create and add a false identity to obtain the same behavior as in kmail 0 -> 2.0 ? Probably stupid, but not understood the interest of "Me"...
After showing collegues KMail I stumbled upon this "feature" again. I am well aware how to get around that (as kindly explained above), but this surely isn't a well received workaround. Since this report is closed, shall we continue discussing in here or open a new one? Thanks.
