Emails in Mbox format with ‘to’ or ‘from’ fields containing only names but no email addresses appear in the list of correspondents after importing an Mbox file but are missing after restarting ePADD #414

Sometimes, 'to' or 'from' fields in Mbox files contain a name without an email address. This is probably because of issues with the used email server or during conversion to Mbox from other formats. An email with the following header will result in a correspondent Linda Smith with one sent email and a correspondent John Gibson with one received message:

From - Wed Nov 13 11:20:07 2019 From: "Linda Smith" \linda@smith.com\ Subject: Meeting Message-ID: \VI1P@VI1PR08MB3213.eurprd08.prod.outlook.com\ Date: Wed, 13 Nov 2019 11:23:07 +0000 To: "John Gibson" \john@gibson.com\

With the following header, the result is the same after importing the Mbox file, but after restarting ePADD, the names Linda Smith and John Gibson are both shown with no received or sent emails:

From - Wed Nov 13 11:20:07 2019 From: "Linda Smith" Subject: Meeting Message-ID: \VI1P@VI1PR08MB3213.eurprd08.prod.outlook.com\ Date: Wed, 13 Nov 2019 11:23:07 +0000 To: "John Gibson" \john@gibson.com\
