I have 2 email accounts on Thunderbird(jg@ and orders@). When I am sending mail from one mail, it shows email in Inbox folder of other email, but "Correspondents" show not sender email, but receiver email with arrow. SMTP server is the same for all email accounts. Please help me to solve this problem.

go to options and search for address turn off the option to "show only display name for people in my address book."

Any change?

If not select the email open the source (ctrl+U) and check the information in From: and To:

for example messages from this forum have 

From: Mozilla Support Forum <no-reply@support.mozilla.org>

Perhaps you have configured things to have your name included in the email header to be displayed. This is the only way t be sure of what is actually in the email you are getting.
