How can I conceal my personal name when sending email out from my iCloud email account?

I prefer to keep my first and last name private when I send e-mail about for my iCloud account. In the body of an e-mail, if it's a personal correspondence and appropriate, I will THEN elect to provide my full name. But I don't want my first and last name appearing involuntarily in the header of my e-mail as it arrives in the recipients inbox.
I called tech support and spent 90 minutes on the phone on Sept. 23 and we did not manage to arrive at a solution. Revealing the first and last name connected to the account should always be an "elective" item. Privacy is paramount these days and not every e-mail you send out is solely for trusted friends and relatives. In age of Internet privacy woes, discretion should be the default and exposure of personal information the exception.
Might anyone be able to help? Thanks!

Hi allinforapple,
If you are concerned about your full name being associated with emails your send from iCloud, you may find the following articles helpful. If the concern is about the address itself (i.e. [email protected], if you happen to have an address like that), you are able to create an Alias address tied to your account. If that is not a concern, you can also change the Full Name associated with your current address from the same Preferences > Accounts menu:
iCloud: About email aliases
iCloud: Create or change email aliases

  • How can I request a return receipt when sending email from Leopard Mail?

    Has anyone found a way to request return receipts when sending email with Leopard Mail?

    see this [link|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7244096&#7244096].
    However,
    this is only possible if the email client of the e-mail receiver supports this feature and it is turned on. if it doesn't support it or it supports it but the feature is turned off there is absolutely nothing you can do.

  • How can I sign out from old icloud email on my device? I changed email recently and by mistake restored my new iphone 6 from old back up with email that doesn't exist. Pls help!

    I have changed i cloud email recently, and wanted to set up my new iphone 6 from 2 months old back up. Later I found out that icloud has old email, but it doesn't recognize password to sign out because it is not in i cloud system anymore. Now I cant turn off stupid icloud to reset my new iphone 6  
    How can I change icloud email or reset and erase new phone 6 if it is stuck on an old apple id which doesnt exist?

    The fact that the email address doesn't exist anymore doesn't matter. As far as the Apple ID is concerned, the email address is just a user name. As long as you know the password you used, it should be fine.
    If you don't remember the password, start here:

  • How can I change the display name when I call someone?

    I recently gave a re-provisioned 8300 to a new employee. I wiped out the phone, and re-setup the phone in our exchange server to match the new user's settings.
    The only problem he's having is that when he calls someone, the display name shows the previous users name as the person calling.
    How do I change that?
    Thanks in advance,
    howe132

    You don't say what model the device is, but if GSM, make sure the SIM card has not been edited to the preview name.

  • How can you keep the file name when using "Download Linked File As..."?

    I'm a longtime PC user finally making the transition to Mac.  Some of the tasks that seemed so simple in Windows have really stumped me!  One of the tasks I do frequently is download files into specific folders.  After much looking, I finally found the "Download Linked File As..." option if I right-click on the download link.  The problem is, when I choose this option, I lose the file name.  I get a window in which I can choose the desired folder, but the filename is always "0".  If I want to keep the filename (and I usually do), I have to type it in manually.  Is there anyway around this?

    You can post a screen shot by clicking on the liitle Camera icon above your reply.  :)
    Just checked on 10.7.4+, still the same, something is borked about your install, to see if we need to re-install...
    To find out if it's system wide or user specific, try this...
    Open System Preferences>Accounts, unlock the lock, click on the little plus icon, make a new admin account, log out & into the new account.
    Does it work in the new account?

  • How can I adjust the file names when using the "export layers to files" Script in photoshop?

    Currently the standard set up adds "_0000s_0001_" in front of the layer names that I need the new files to use. I'm processing hundreds of images so I'd like to avoid selecting and deleting the extra characters one by one. Any way to automate this or set it correctly before exporting?

    But i need path and have to do some calculations on it.No, you don't. If you have requirements which say you do then the requirements are wrong. You couldn't do anything useful with the path on the client system even if you could get it.
    is there any alternatives in java
    I need path and have to calculate MD5, Presumably you need to calculate MD5 on the contents of the file and not on the name of the file.
    and convert the file to binary format.... etc oprations on itSorry, "convert a file to binary format" is basically meaningless.
    but we can get the content of the file using
    byte [] get()/ getString() methods
    If i get content is there any performance degrades?
    ie if the content is lengthy is it take more time?Take more time than what? Degrading performance from what? It's certainly true that it would be quicker to not upload the file, but that's a pointless comparison. If you have some other process to compare with, let us know what it would be.

  • How can I avoid a pop-up when I'm going from an email to the email list?

    I use Mozilla firefox to go online. When I've opened an email I've received and then want to return from that email to the email list, I click "backspace." Half the time, it gets me back to the email list. The other half the time, a window pops up, saying:
    "To display this page, Firefox must send information that will repeat any action (such as a search or order confirmation) that was performed earlier" and I have to choose to cancel or resend. I always click resend. I don't want this window to pop-up. When I read an email and then hit the backspace key, I just want to get back to the email list.
    Can you help? Thanks, Alvin Glazerman

    Don't use backspace to go back to that page. Either open the link in a new tab with a middle-click and close that tab to go back or click a link to go back to the inbox if there is such a link on that page.

  • In Thunderbird, how can I import more than one set of sub-folders from my old email program?

    I recently changed to Thunderbird from Microsoft Outlook Express (which I still have installed), on which I had two separate "identities", each having its own address book and set of sub-folders. The installation process successfully set up two new sets of files in Thunderbird (Inbox, etc.), one set for each of my previous identities, and successfully retrieved all the data from both address books, combining them in the process, but it has only retrieved one set of sub-folders. Is there any way I can copy the other set of folders across?

    I am pretty sure I answered this question this morning. posted more than once on the same subject have we?

    They will only be where you put them  If you are doing the very basics, then they will be on your computer and they will be in your backup copy of your computer.
    The itunes store is not global at all, never has been. You cannot redownload your content from another country.  You can only use the countrys itunes store for the country that you are physically located.
