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")
