: (1) If an account has multiple identities, or if the Global Inbox is used for more than one accounts, or any e-mail read in Local Folders, the "You" is highly ambiguous and should be avoided ''(note that the current design does not show the e-mail address if only "You" is visible)''. On top of that, problems similar to those reported in {{bug|457304}} apply where the addressee may not match the address ''(this would allow "spoofing" of the recipient(s)="You" real address to a different name without noticing it when displayed, even if it's just for fun)''. | : (1) If an account has multiple identities, or if the Global Inbox is used for more than one accounts, or any e-mail read in Local Folders, the "You" is highly ambiguous and should be avoided <s>''(note that the current design does not show the e-mail address if only "You" is visible)''</s>.

:: As part of {{bug|474721}}, the e-mail address is now shown with the "You", and the "You" can be overridden by an address-book entry, though this workaround is rather difficult to discover ({{bug|478466#c96}}). --[[User:Rsx11m|Rsx11m]] 11:02, 11 December 2010 (PST) | |||
: (2) The other issue is the one of localization, as addressed in {{bug|456818#c12}}. Even in a region where a casual "You" would be considered appropriate, it may not hit the right tone, e.g., in a business environment ''(along with different levels of politeness)''. Is there any feedback yet from the localizers on this point? | : (2) The other issue is the one of localization, as addressed in {{bug|456818#c12}}.

:: This is still an open issue and remains unaddressed in that bug. However, {{bug|535349}} may change "You" to "Me" for the header pane, thus mitigating the politeness issue. --[[User:Rsx11m|Rsx11m]] 11:02, 11 December 2010 (PST) | |||

The term "You" is not localizable in some languages for both "from" and "to" directions in the same way and need to be separated, see {{bug|481966}}. | <s>The term "You" is not localizable in some languages for both "from" and "to" directions in the same way and need to be separated, see {{bug|481966}}.</s> ''Fixed.'' --[[User:Rsx11m|Rsx11m]] 11:02, 11 December 2010 (PST) | ||
As a workaround, ''uncheck'' "Show only display name for people in my address book" to disable the short address display. --[[User:Rsx11m|Rsx11m]] 02:08, 27 June 2009 (UTC) | As a workaround, ''uncheck'' "Show only display name for people in my address book" to disable the short address display. --[[User:Rsx11m|Rsx11m]] 02:08, 27 June 2009 (UTC) | ||
