Just as announced in my last comment, I close this bug. If you encounter it
again in a recent version (at least 5.0 aka 15.08), please open a new one
unless it already exists. Thank you for all your input.

This bug has only been reported for versions before 4.14, which have been
unsupported for at least two years now. Can anyone tell if this bug still
present?

If noone confirms this bug for a Framework-based version of kmail2 (version 5.0
or later, as part of KDE Applications 15.12 or later), it gets closed in about
three months.

I checked from Thunderbird and Evolution EWS. Indeed the message source shows
the same information, no email address, only name for those messages. However,
both of them show the name as is so no problem.

(In reply to comment #3)
 I checked from Thunderbird and Evolution EWS. Indeed the message source
 shows the same information, no email address, only name for those messages.
 However, both of them show the name as is so no problem.

OK, I analysed the situation a bit more. 
First of all, all mails sent from Android Activesync, from Exchange EWS,
Exchange MAPI, or Exchange SMTP properly show the email mail address in the
headers. 

so it seems the issue surfaced when I imported my outlook PST's into my IMAP
server, through Thunderbird's ImportExportPlugin add-on and using readpst to
extract Outlook PST files into importable format (maildir I think). Somehow,
the imported Sent items do not contain the mail address of the sender in the
Sent mailbox. I will dig into this with the importexportplugin add-on and
readpst.

So as a conclusion, we can mark this bug as a feature request, where Kmail
can show the sender name even if there's no email address in the From: field in
the headers. This is the behavior equal to what Thunderbird  Evolution does.
(so that it does not at least show Unknown)

We expect parsing real email not just name in CC/To/ etc.

I've also checked the inbox folders now. It seems all messages actually contain
an email address (some...@something.com etc.) along with their names. Outbox
mails don't always contain these, but still contain the names.
