I don't believe a change of wording to be a good idea. Would you show
"From" when I highlight a mail sent to me? What about all other mails in
the list, should they show the from address also? If so, the feature
would be somewhat meaningless, if not, the column title wouldn't reflect
what's actually showed in that field.

But I agree an entry like "To/From" or "Auto To/From" (suggested by
Alexander S. Kunz) might be better than "Correspondent".

You wouldn't use this column in folders containing list emails, would
you? I don't see the point in doing that, I'm never interested in the
"To" field of a mailing list email.

And don't forget the small arrow I suggested to mark if the email is
sent to or from me. Without some kind of marker for "email direction",
using the "Correspondent" column would be very confusing.
