I am using Messages mainly on my Mac and the following problem does only occur in Messages on my Mac but not in Messages on my iPhone and iPad.
One of my friends with whom I am exchanging emails and messages very often changed her name - lets say from Pamela to Andrea. Her email address and her phone number have not changed. I changed the name in Contacts on my Mac from "Pamela" to "Andrea" and the change synchronized nicely to my iPhone and my iPad.
When I now start in Mail a new email to Andrea everything works fine. In Messages on my iPhone the name of the whole thread of messages that I exchanged with Andrea has also changed from Pamela to Andrea. So far so good.
However, in Messages on my Mac Andrea is still called Pamela. When I try to start a new message to Andrea here it automatically gets added to the Pamela thread.
How can I make Messages on my Mac to change the name in the thread to Andrea (without having to delete the whole thread)?
