Email wrong name  "from"

When I send an email to someone it shows up as my father's name. Its my email account. How do I change it from his name to mine name?

I'm sure most of you have tried changing the "name" field several times... as I have and it STILL sent email with my son's name since he used my itunes one time... I FINALLY FIGURED IT OUT... go into the email account settings and once again make sure that the name you want your email to come "from" is correct...
THEN...
go to Reset Statistics and DO IT!  You will not lose any documents, settings or data... REBOOT iphone and any devices connected in the cloud (ipad, ipod, laptop, etc.) send a test email from your icloud email address to another and confirm the name is now correct... GOOD LUCK!
All hail the great and powerful Steve Jobs... R.I.P.

  • How to delete old email source name from emails I send?

    I used to work at company and sent email from that email address. I do not work there now but when I send new or replies to anyone, that old email address is plunked into the from email.

    No....Did not work....I followed your instructions numerous times.
    Problem....Remains....
    When I compose an new email the FROM email address list alphabetically as AAAA, BBBB, CCCC. If I don't select CCCC it automatically sends the email from AAAA which no longer exist. Recipients of the email who reply to the AAAA email address are informed no such address exist.
    I agree....
    My question is How do I delete BOTH AAAA and BBBB email addresses from being used? Is there a simple table I can access?
    Thank you, WRELAM

  • Email server name defination

    please see metalink Note:427962.1
    Testing email option for demo page "runrepIAS.html"
    I need to change the email server used to report. Where is this email server name defined?
    This process does not get the email server name from the config files in $ORACLE_HOME/reports/conf
    Thanks

    I just ran the demo (following the metalink note) and I am using the:
    <pluginParam name="mailServer">%MAILSERVER_NAME%</pluginParam>in the rep_myserver.conf file in $ORACLE_HOME/reports/conf
    and the value MAILSERVER_NAME is defined as:
    MAILSERVER_NAME=myemailserver.comin the rwsevlet.properties file.
    I also changed it to a different smtp server and that worked also, just to make sure it was using the value defined in my config files. Why do you think it is not using that value?

  • In Mail, the "From" line shows the wrong name associated with the email id. How do I update it?

    In Mail, the "From" line shows the wrong name associated with my email ID. I've looked over preferences and account information but have not found where I can update it.

    There isn't an email address associated with the contact name who appears as the "from" in Mail. It used to be a shared email address and I already had updated the contact to list only the phone number in case that was causing the problem. 

  • Emails sending from the wrong name

    Hi
    Ive had this problem for a good year or two and Ive still not found any solution.
    On most emails sent the 'from' will say my business name but occasionally someone will reply back and call me Louise, which isn't my name, beacuase the email from section says Louise instead of my business name???
    I cant find anywhere this name is entered. Its not in the address book, its not in account info
    Any other ideas of where I can look?
    thanks

    Have you looked in Mail's menubar Window, and opened Previous Recipients.? If you see Loiuse in there you can delete it. The email address will still remain.

  • Wrong name in email address and damaged index in address book

    I have experienced this problem for months now. I have a Mac Pro at the office and MacBook Pro at home. The address book is synced with .mac. At random I will receive emails and the mail program will attach the wrong name with the address ( John doe [email protected] will be displayed as mary smith [email protected] ) this also happens in mail I have sent and copied myself on. The incorrect name is usually one that exist in my address book. The second part of the problem which may be related is the index for both address books will get damaged. Every few days I have to discard the address book index file ( AddressBook-v22.abcddb ) which fixes the index issue for a few days. The computers nor the applications ever crash. I wonder if the .mac syncing could be key to both computers having index issues. Rebuilding the address index does not fix the wrong name issue. Both computers are 10.5.2. I feel there is some deeper corruption issue that rebuilding that one index file does not correct. I have also rebuilt all the mail boxes.

    SOLUTION: my ultimate solution to the address book confusing contact info in ichat, mail, etc. was to go to ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/ and delete the AddressBook-v22.abcddb file. back up your contacts first!!! but after you delete and relaunch, Address Book will rebuild using the info from the Metadata folder. worked like a charm.

  • Issue with certain email being received with wrong name

    Hi- From time to time I've seen this happen where an email will come in and the 'from' name is different from the email address. Usually I find the problem with this is in the address book as the record with that email had a wrong name, but that's not the case.
    Is it possible there's something odd with the cache in that a wrong name became associated with an email address? I checked with the email host and the sending email's account is setup correctly, so the issue is somewhere with the recipient.
    Any idea what's going on?

  • 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

  • In Mail - emails arrive with the wrong name?

    I am receiving emails both in general and from FaceBook with the wrong name as the sender.  Today I received an email from "Jerri" and the name shown was "Marilyn".  I also receive all my FB emails from 'Dina'  and they are from all kinds of different people.
    I'm on a MacBook Pro, 10.10.2.  I looked on FB to find an answer, but can't find anything, but it must be with Mail, as the emails arrive from anyone direct (not from FB) and they are wrong.  I did just rebuild Mail, but the same wrong names are there.
    Thanks anyone, Cheryl

    It is an excellent question .. it used to happen when I ran my first Mac on snow leopard but I have never pursued the reason until I saw your question.
    Here is a useful reference.
    http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/55416/my-mac-minis-computer-name-keeps- changing-when-it-resumes-from-sleep
    Something is faulty in the main router. That it is a TC is no surprise really.. they are far from being great routers.
    Of course if this didn't happen on previous OS but is now happening since you moved to Yosemite.. well you know where the blame lies.. although how Yosemite is affecting it I don't know.
    Since I moved everything to Asus router I no longer have the problem. But my Mac was up to (5) and I thought this is getting ridiculous.
    Let me copy and paste the answer and kudos to the guy who posted it.. Jon not me.
    I've seen this happen when the local DNS server has DNS caching enabled, but doesn't flush the cache often enough (or at all).
    You can set your Host Name/Computer Name to a static value using scutil in Terminal. This means that your Mac will no longer change it's name automatically, so it's important that there are no other machines on your network that actually have that hostname. When you run this, replace "new_hostname" with your desired hostname:
    sudo scutil –-set HostName new_hostname
    sudo scutil –-set LocalHostName new_hostname
    sudo scutil –-set ComputerName new_hostname
    You can check to make sure the values are set by running:
    sudo scutil –-get HostName new_hostname
    sudo scutil –-get LocalHostName new_hostname
    sudo scutil –-get ComputerName new_hostname
    When you do this you might keep getting errors that another computer of the same name is on the network.. just reboot the TC to clear the DNS cache.
    Or if that doesn't work you will need to clear the cache from the local computer.

  • Mail adds wrong name to right email address

    I type in a mail address and the wrong persons name gets associated with it. I can't fix it. the mail goes to the right person but person B's name gets associated with it. It doesn't work to uncheck auto fill addresses in the mail preferences either. How do u reset and control these actions?
    thx
    Mail ver 3.3

    David,
    I too have had this problem. I think the problem occurs when an address book from one computer syncs with one from another. Things get jumbled up in the process. Wrong names get associated with email address's. Go into your address book & find the email address & I bet you will see the wrong name attached. Edit the entry & all should be well.

  • TS3276 Wrong name when people reply to my email

    Hi Ive noticed sometimes when people reply to my business email they have thw wrong name in there. Its always the same name a version of my maiden name so I assume at some point I entered it somewhere in Mac Mail but I cant find it anywhere to change
    Any ideas?
    thanks

    Hi WZZZ, A few weeks ago I logged on to change my password, and then thought I'd take the opportunity to unsubscribe from old topics that still arrive in the in-box that have gone off topic, or old posts revived by a hopeful inquirer.
    From there I saw a few questions and so offered a clue here and there, but I intend to keep a pretty light footprint. 
    To synergy_gd, I hope you got your old name problem sorted out.

  • How can I get the host name from Email address?

    hi
    When I using socket to develope an email-sending servlet,I don't know how to get the host name from emial address.can you help me,thanks

    Stripping off the user name will give you the domain of from field in the message. This is not the same as the host. Take a look at:
    http://www.stopspam.org/email/headers/headers.html
    Theres a pretty good discussion about email headers and how to use the information. You probably want to check the information here against the RFC.

  • My mother used to be the bill payer on my iTunes account so now every time I send an email from my iCloud account it sent with her name, how can I change the settings so emails are sent from myself?

    My mother used to be the bill payer on my iTunes account so now every time I send an email from my iCloud account it sent with her name, how can I change the settings so emails are sent from myself?
    I've changed the bill payer to myself but it stills says on emails that I sent that its from my mother.

    In order for the "From" field to show you options on the "from" addresses available, you must set them up in the Preferences > Accounts first.
    I can't show you a screen shot of the from field because I currently only have one account, so the from address used is the default. However, when I had more than one, then options will show up in your compose/reply window.
    You'd need to add an account here:
