Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Has done a searchand not found anything on this:

On the Side Bar, where you have the email account showing this should really be given the option of being given a name or a description name so to speak as personally a security wise it's not good you have this on display in some environments.

Then you could give them nick names so someone looking, while your working can't just grab the address.

Research direction

Start at the sidebar entry point that displays the email account and trace how its current address is obtained and rendered. Determine where a user-provided nickname or description would be stored and applied; done means the sidebar can show that label instead of exposing the account address.
