I have a bunch of duplicate emails and somehow it picked "Noname" as my name.

@JelteF The system treats (name, email) pairs as aliases - and if you check, your duplicate emails all have different names. We simply parse all combinations you ever used for your messages. One of it is picked as your "primary alias" automatically, you can change it in settings.

"Noname" is used if you ever sent an email without any name specified (only email address). Maybe we should change the name for that while making sure not to pick that as a default alias when other aliases also exists.

"Noname" is used if you ever sent an email without any name specified (only email address).

I realized that I was wrong there, it is also possible (and more likely) that somebody added you as CC, with only specifying your email address. I'll think about a better way to handle that.

@dutow Maybe we should somehow group those on actual email since it does become a mess if you like me, or Jelte, have for some reason written your own name many ways.

@JelteF Cleaned up the list and your name is now fixed!

What's changed:

• We automatically hide combinations that were only present in To/Cc field, we only display email address/name combinations you actually used before. This significantly reduces the list for most people.
• Recalculated everyone's primary alias based on the sent message count, only taking these aliases into account
• For registered users, we only updated it if the currently selected alias was Noname
