How do I go about getting a users name?

For example, like the names listed in the GMAIL inbox image below.

[mjs]

The sender name can be obtained by retrieving the From header of an email which will give you something like either First Last <[email protected]> or just a plain address like [email protected]. This can be parsed with email.utils.parseaddr to give you the separate name and address parts.

Alternatively if you have the full email body (say because you fetched it as RFC822), you can parse it with with email.parser.HeaderParser which will give you an EmailMessage object. This has a headers attribute from which you can get the From header and the separate as above using parseaddr.
