How to resolve IPv6 addresses.

I am working to capture all the email traffic to my system to TS an issue with Thunderbird's email handling. I have multiple email accounts across many services. When I look at the WS Endpoints display (and in the captured trace) most of the IPv6 addresses are not resolved to a host name. (Yes, the Name resolution setting is enabled.)

The only one that is resolved is to py-in-f16.1e100.net. (Google Gmail I presume.) Why aren't the others and how do i configure my network or Wireshark to accomplish this?

Thanks for the help.

Oh, I am using the following Capture Filter: tcp port 993 or tcp port 465. If there is a better way to filter this I'm all ears.

Thanks for the help.
