I just upgraded from Thunderbird 38 to most recent Thunderbird. After upgrading, in every messages list on every account on every mailserver I have in Thunderbird (quite a few), Thunderbird shows messages from me as coming from the To address. Since I cc myself on all email that I send, this causes serious problems because I can't easily tell from a glance whether an email is to me or from me.

I can't figure out why it is doing this. How do it fix this? Is it a known bug? :(

If you look at the column header you will see that there is a new column called Correspondent. There are arrows indicating inbound or outbound. Personally I do not like having in and out combined. You can turn it off and turn the old column back on by clicking the icon at the right end of the header bar.
