Expected behavior
I expect the email client to display the actual data from the email, not invent things. It is definitely not "Me". If you want to describe incoming or outgoing email, there are much better options.
Actual behavior
E-Mail client is showing "Me" for incoming E-Mails.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the incoming-email view in Thunderbird for Android and trace where the sender or recipient label is rendered. Compare the displayed “Me” value with the email’s actual address across the affected views. Done means incoming emails show the correct address rather than “Me”.
