using addrress books to sort incoming mail

[The unknown Posterchild]

I use address books to sort incoming mail.
An odd thing: depending on how the sender's name comes across, it doesn't
get caught by the filter (amd moved to the "Family Mail" Folder I have set
up. for example: my mom and dad's email (from (e-mail address removed))
comes as from that address. However, in my contacts, they are listed by
their names: John and Mary Smith, with (e-mail address removed) as their
email address and John and Mary Smith as the display name.

What have I done wrong?

TIA
