Change gmail outgoing name when sent from iphone4

hi!
so, i have my gmail account set up on iphone and it works all fine and peachy but...
all my outgoing e-mails sent from iphone have my username displayed as outgoing name.
(for example: say, my e-mail is [email protected] all my outgoing e-mails, sent from iphone display Pink Elephant as my name, which looks kind of awkward, when i'm replying to business related e-mails)
just to be clear: when i go to Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> GMAIL -> Account... it doesn't have the name field.
it has:
- email
- server
- domain
- username
- password
- description
and the option to use SSL. that's it.
any ideas how to change the outgoing name?
thanks!

wjosten, the thing is - it has my name in gmail settings. i checked. it works fine, when i e-mail from a computer.
changing it has no effect on my outgoing name, when i send from iphone.
but thanks
upd: yeah, what Leann said

  • Batch change does not change meta data name when exporting or copy

    I use batch change to change the name of an event when photos from more than one source (camera) are imported. When I copy or export the photos the name reverts to the original meta data file. I do this to override duplicate names. For instance photos from two cameras taking pictures of the same event can have identical names such as IMG_0100. Iphoto does not show all the metadata on info but does show the change in the name when viewing info in iphoto.
    Is there some way to permanently change the name on photos using a group or batch method?

    No you're not changing any filenames at all.
    There is no way to change a filename in iPhoto at all. What you with Batch Change is add a Title to the photo. A Title is an entry in the metadata.
    You can set the name of an exported file to be the same as the title, when you export... if you choose that option.

  • I am unable to receive texts on my new LG G2 when sent from some other iPhones

    I had an iPhone 4 and switched to LG G2 android.  I am unable to receive texts on my new LG G2 when sent from some other iPhones.  I've done everything Sprint and Apple have suggested - turned off imessaging, made sure the contact info on the other iPhones is plain mobile numbers, deactivated my iCloud account.  Nothing is working.  Anybody have any suggestions?

    Hi!
    What kind of RFC do you use? If you use synchronous RFC the caller waits for the answer/result of the called function. In normal cases this should solve your issue.

  • I have 2 phones on my iTunes account, why are text messages showing on the second phone when sent from the first

    I have 2 phones on my iTunes account, why are text messages showing on the second phone when sent from the first phone?

    it's meant to work like that
    so if you receive a message on your iphone you also get it on your ipad or ipod touch
    to avoid it use separate appleID for each device
    or turn off imessage on 1 or both devices in their settings
    but that will not fix the issue that 2 devices using the same appleID will never be able to facetime eachother
    the appleID is a unique handle for 1 user only

  • Separator page prints out with wrong name when printing from Outlook 2010

    Working with Windows 7 Enterprise, Outlook 2010.  We've set up our desk printers to print a separator page with the user's name, as several people use the same printers in our building.  Printing from IE, Word, etc. all work fine, and it'll print
    out the correct username on the separator page.
    When anyone attempts to print an Outlook email, it instead prints out my username.  We've found that it doesn't happen if they click on the "quick print" button, but it happens every time if they do "file > Print" or Ctrl+P.

    Hi
    As per the information and details provided by you that separator page prints out with wrong name when printing from Outlook 2010, please follow these steps: -
    To create a custom separator page file, use a text editor such as
    Notepad. On the very first line, type one single character, and then press
    Enter. The character on this line defines the character used as an escape character. For example, the following list assumes that this character is the at sign (@).
    Enter the escape codes for the functions you want, and then save the file with an .sep extension in the Windows System32 subfolder.
    In the Print Manager, select the printer that you want to use the separator page file with, and then click
    Choose Properties on the Printer menu.
    Click
    Details, specify the name of the desired separator page file in the
    Separator File box, and then click OK.
    Note:
    Put the custom separator page file in one of the following locations:
    In the %Windir%System32 folder.
    In a folder whose path contains a SepFiles folder. For example:
    Drive:\Folder\SepFiles\Subfolder
    I hope this information will be helpful for you.
    Thanks and regards

  • MS exchange account on my iPhone and iPad doesn't capture sent mail when sent from iPhone or iPad! Everyting else seems to work fine. Can someone pleasse help?

    MS exchange account on my iPhone and iPad doesn't capture sent mail when sent from iPhone or iPad! Everyting else seems to work fine. Can someone pleasse help?

    iPhone and iPad use a different way of accessing the server.
    I don't know the exact details, but we are using Zarafa instead of Exchange and have the same problem:
    iPhone and the likes can connect to Zarafas z-push interface, which is some identical interface to the native Exchange interface, while the desktop e-mail application tries to interface with the web front end (via http) of the server.
    These are completely different setups and it depends on the actual installation of the server to get this going.
    So, you will most likely need different access parameters for the desktop - and the web mail feature has to be enabled on the Exchange server.
    In my opinion using the web mail interface is just silly. On the other hand, the native protocol has less features comparedto the web front end, so you are somehow stuck with sins of the past.
    Good luck!

  • How do I change my signature & other text on my outgoing e mails sent from my mobile?

    When I bought my Blackberry Torch 9800 (2 years ago), I (somehow) managed to add some text giving my name, & my 2 business websites so that it appeared at the bottom of all outgoing e mails.  At the same time, I deleted the wording that said something like 'message sent from my Blackberry'.
    I now need to change the message (& also want to re-instate the fact that it comes from my Blackberry as this explains a brief reply when necessary'.)
    I don't think I did it from any settings on the mobile.  I think it was done 'somehow' on my main computer. 
    Any ideas??

  • Change sender's name when sending SMS

    Dear Skype supporter,
    I would like to use my name which is different from my skype name and forbid the message reply when sending SMS. Whether it works? I found I can either show my skype name or my mobile phone number when sending SMS. Look forward to your kind reply.
    Thanks a lot.

    When receiving the SMS it currently shows an unknown phone number, is it possible to change this phone number into a company name? If so how can I do this?
    Thank you.
    Because SMS goes out over mobile phone networks, the messages must be sent from a number.  Since Skype does not provide a way to receive SMS messages, the closest you can get to using your own number would be to set up a mobile number (except mobiles in Japan or Mexico) as Caller ID.  Then your Skype SMS messages could carry your mobile number, providing a way for people to reply to your messages.

  • Smtp - change my full name when i send an email

    How do i get to change my name (my full name): When i send now an email the people who get my email see the adres of my email, but also my Full Name.
    I understand that this i sthe name that i have typed in when i activted the icloud account and this is the name that people see when they get an email from me. But how can i change this?
    I logged in on my profile, and changed my name, but still my earlier name is there to see. And i don't want that. (no, i have nothing to hide )

    This might work.  I had the same problem in Mail on my iMac.
    FIrst, login to www.icloud.com.  If your name is right on iCloud, open Mail in the iCloud window and click on the gear icon (prefeences)  You can fix your name there.  On the iMac, I had to wait a few minutes, quit and restart Mail, and check preferences.  Then on starting a new message, there was a pulldown under "From", that I used to select the one with my correct name and correct email address.  I just deleted that blank email, and others since then default to the correct name.
    Don't know if this will work for mail sent from the iPhone, but once the Cloud Mail is corrected, hopefully it will do the trick.

  • HTC Sensation not able to open text messages sent from iPhone4 iOS6

    Up until I installed iOS 6, my friend had no trouble receiving and opening a standard (green) text message sent from my iPhone4. After the new install, his phone receives the message but as a text file that won't open. He hasn't changed anything on his end nor have I changed anything else, so I'm assuming this must be the culprit. Has anyone else had a similar issue? Thank you for any suggestions.
