--- Comment #1 from Erik Quaeghebeur <bugs.kde.org at e3q.eu> ---
The smart theme uses a ‘sender’ field that is actually a ‘sender or receiver’
field, where the choice depends on the folder type. It is unclear to me
actually how to determine the folder type. Anyway, to solve it, go to 

View > Message List > Theme > Configure…

Then clone the smart theme; give the cloned theme a nice name; in the cloned
theme definition's Appearance tab, drag the ‘Sender’ out into the list of
fields above (it is actually the sender/receiver) and then drag the real
‘Sender’ in its place (right click to get the option to soften).

So in some sense, this bug report is not really about a bug, but about a
potentially confusing feature. You can choose to close it or leave it open, but
then perhaps change the title to reflect the actual issue (confusing nature/bad
discoverability).
