Bug Description

1. Add account via Online Accounts on elementary OS Loki
2. Open Mail and see the account
3. Change the nickname on the account in Mail
4. Close and re-open Mail

Expected:
The rename sticks and Mail still associates the account with the nickname.

Actual:
Mail reverts back to the email address instead of the nickname.

This is problematic when I have three email addresses all beginning with "cassidy@"; I can't distinguish between them without making the sidebar super wide, and I can't rename them to "Work", "Personal", and "elementary" like I usually do.

Confirmed. However, I was successfully able to change the nicknames for my accounts and restart Mail once with the name change sticking. A second restart of Mail however, and they reverted to the email address.
