- The short summary is 8.8.7 included the change that should have new installs with zimbraPrefShortEmailAddress set to FALSE, but sites that upgrade need to make this change manually (this wasn't forced upon upgrade due to the fact that it is a fairly visible change for end users)

I had a discussion about this with Zimbra and since Mailsploit, I believe the consensus is that putting it to FALSE is the safest. 

Also maybe for new installations the default is FALSE, had a discussion about that, but not sure that ever made GA.

ah thanks. 
found the attribute for it 

<attr id="1173" name="zimbraPrefShortEmailAddress" type="boolean" cardinality="single" optionalIn="account,cos" flags="accountInherited,domainAdminModifiable" since ="7.0.1"> 
<defaultCOSValue>TRUE</defaultCOSValue> 
<desc>show just the display name of email addresses in the message header area and compose pane</desc> 
</attr> 

so I can set it in COS :) 

what do you have it set to for all user as default?

You can disable the name only when viewing a message by turning off "Display names in place of email addresses when available". Its found at the very bottom of the General settings.
