Email Account Name can't be changed (at least it won't save)

I've been trying to change the name of my personal email account on 3 different Tours now, and it won't save. It defaults to the email address. I can change it, and it says the account was updated, but it doesn't stick. It keeps showing the email address as the account name.
Is this a bug in the software? Must be, since 3 Tours have done it.
Any ideas? Thanks.

Goto the Email set up, it will show you the Current Email accounts you have set up, there will be an option to "Edit" You can change the Display Name (what other's see in the From line) and Account Name, what shows up when you mouse over your email icon on your Blackberry.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

  • I recently changed my iCloud account because someone stole my last phone and changed all my passwords for both my iCloud and emails account. So when I changed my account I accedently erased all my contacts is there anything I can do? (It wasn't backup)

    I'd say your best bet is to try to regain access to your old account. Call 1-800-MY-APPLE, and ask to talk to the account security team. Hopefully they can verify you are the account owner, and then reset the password for you.

  • How do I change my iCloud email account and can't remember my password

    My iCloud account is in my old email account which I need to change, but have forgotten my password. I can not get in to my old emails as this account was sabotaged and now closed.

    Unless you have a specific reason to share an account for iCloud, you are generally better using seperate ID's. This doesn't stop you using a shared ID for iTunes so that you can continue to use your shared content.
    However, there is also no reason you shouldn't be able to update your ID details on your husbands phone if you do decide to share an ID for iCloud.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
    If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

    hello, does it work when you access yahoo mail through this link?: https://mail.yahoo.com/
    in case the problem is still occurring, please go through the steps covered in [[Websites look wrong or appear differently than they should]] or [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems|reset firefox]] (since a mere reinstall won't help in most situations).

    iOS 8.1, mail fumction, date at bottom of email accounts the date hasn't changed since 9/26/14.  How can I fixed this?

    Thanks for the reply Brenden.  However the problem is:
         At the very bottom of the "Mailboxes" screen (where I've got 6 email addresses that do work) there is on the far right (bottom right corner) an icon to compose a new message.
         In the center of that space is a generated message that says:  1) "downloading x of y" and 2) when finished downloading it says "Updated on 9/26/14." today is 11/6/14!
         My problem is that that date hasn't changed since I upgraded to iOS 8.1.  The emails are current, but that date isn't!
    Can you help?

  • Msg show email account name

    I haven't update the ios7.1.1, but recently I received my friend imessage, it show her email account name, not contact name at my contact, can someone can tell me why?

    Hey heidiyuen,
    Thanks for the question. It sounds like your friend has configured her settings to start new conversations from her Apple ID email address, rather than her phone number. For more information, see the following:
    iOS: Using Messages
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3529
    You can change the address that new iMessage conversations are started with in Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > Start new conversations from. Note that this setting applies only to new conversations. If you would like to change the address from which messages are sent, first change this setting, and then delete the existing conversation and start a new one.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • I would like to bcc my email accounts separately - can this be done?

    I have 2 email accounts set up on both ipad and iphone.  I have created bcc for all outgoing emails from both accounts but the bcc goes through to the first account even though I sent it from the 2nd account.
    Can this be changed?
    Many thanks

    What would make it fail is the CHM would need to be on the user's PC and I doubt that would be the case. Also you would have to know where it is. I very much doubt there is any way to embed a CHM in the PDF.
    With another poster in another thread, I am try to establish how lately posts are ending up with the body of the post also being the title. Grateful if you can throw any light on that.

  • When I send an email Firefox inserts an old email account name which no longer exist. How do I delete that name?

    How can I delete an old cancelled email account name from automatically being in any new email I send?

    *Click the (empty) input field on the web page to open the drop down list
    *Highlight an entry in the drop down list
    *Press the Delete key (on Mac: Shift+Delete) to remove it.
    Firefox will remember new form data when entered.

    You are going to need to change the email address you use with your old ID. Once you have got access to your old account you will then log into both accounts at the same time on your Mac and transfer your data to a single account. We can do this later, but need you to get access to your old account first.

    Email messages from my icloud account update on all my devices showing if they have been read and if a reply has been sent.  This does not happen with my tinyworld (TalkTalk) email account.  Can I (how can I) get this to work with TinyWorld?

    You have to look at the email protocol being used.  the Apple email system uses IMAP, does Tinyworld use IMAP or POP?
    Does the email system permit delivery receipts to be requested?
    Just some of the things one needs to determine from the information provided by the email service provider.
