N8: Gmail my senders name

Hi,
I've sucessfully setup gmail on my N8 and sent an email to one of my other addresses. It worked, except for the fact that the sender's name was my gmail alias (eg *****@gmail.com) and not what I put in the "My name" field in the settings.
It works for my other Email Accounts (IMAP) setup on the N8.
Any suggestions why that is?
Thanks.

Is the outgoing email client application, Mail, in your computer?
Rules for setup of various email clients can be different but you
should be able to disable or change the messed-up one your office
computer is using now.
"I just tested this with a friend and this is what he sees."
The image [?] did not appear in your post, so I can't tell
anything from a blue box with a question mark inside...
•Gmail setup for Mac Mail -- google search results:
https://www.google.com/search?q=gmail+setup+for+mac+mail
You could disconnect the Gmail from your computer's email client
software from within that application. Then it may stop sending out
any messages until you can correct the first problem... Or second
problem, if the daughter's device can sync and mess it up, that is
something to deal with at another level. So it won't happen at all.
There likely are some fair ideas at Google Support regarding setup
and use of Gmail POP SMTP and etc. Some of these settings are
also accessed within your email account. But to stop her Gmail's
broadcasting involves an email client software hosted in your Mac.
Sorry to not be of much help.
I don't sync anything & don't
allow anyone to use my Mac.
Good luck & happy computing!

IPhone 6 - Voice of Senders Name Alert

I just switched back to iPhone after deciding the Note 3 was not my thing. Anyway Android had a feature that instead of a message alert tone, you could also use a feature that would say the senders name if it was in your contacts. The same is true for an incoming call. Instead of a ring tone, it would say, "Bob is Calling".
Does this feature exist in the Apple world?
Thanks!

No, that is not a feature of the iPhone. You can certainly make your own ringtones for your contacts and assign them.

No Senders Name for Messages

Hi All,
I have been having this problem for some time now over various different versions of PC Suite.
My messages sync fine with my PC and I can read them all and it is all correct, however in the "From" field when viewing from the PC I only get the phone number of the sender not the Name.
I have tried;-
syncing my contacts with outlook and with the phone browser.
making sure that the phone numbers all have +44 in front of them (to make the number exactly the same)
deleting everything and re-installing.
4 or 5 differnet phones over 2 or 3 years
I do not know for sure if it should show the senders name in the phone browser (although I beleive I recall it doing so some years ago...).
Can anyone give me any pointers as to where to go from here? it would be realy usefull if I could see the names rather than the numbers
Currently on:
Windows XP Pro 32bit
Service Pack 2 (from admin install)
PC Suite 6.82.22.0
Phone Nokia 6233
TIA

As Sylvian pointed, metaverse has GUID assigned to every object.
But I am wondering something else:
I queried mms_metaverse in FIMSynch DB
Why are you querying database itself? Any operations strictly on DB are not supported as for querying and admin operations you have FIM Sync console...

Windows mail on external drive does not show senders name, only an odd alpha/num. file name. How to view by sender to sent to name ?

Hello,
I have downloaded from a PC to an external drive my windows mail files (sent, inbox, etc). I can view the files on the PC by changing headers to add senders name, etc.
However, when viewing on my MacBook Pro, I can see all the files but the they are labled with a mixed alpha/numberic file name and not the sender, etc. Can the sender and/or sent to names can be added as searchable fields ?
Thank you,
Mike B.

Enterprise manager still requires a static service definition in listener.ora and does not rely on dynamic registration.
From documentation:
The SID_LIST is required for backward compatibility with Oracle8 or Oracle7 databases, as well as external procedures and heterogeneous services, and some management tools, including Oracle Enterprise Manager.

Mac Mail to Gmail truncates attachments names and removes exstenstions

I have a user that has mac Mail 2.1.1 and is on OS X 10.4.9. Sometimes when he sends mails to his colleagues, the attachments are truncated and the extensions are removed. For Example:
In Mail, he attaches a file called "Heid Survey.doc". Mail sends the file and the Sent mail looks ok. On a windows machine, using firefox and gmail.com, another person checks the email and gets an attachment named "heid". It does not recognize it as a word file. If the attachment is downloaded and the .doc added to it, it will open. If the same recipient checks the mail message in Mac Mail, the email and attachment come through fine.
I have tried this using both "Send Windows Friendly attachments" and with out it.
This does not always happen he reports, but I was able to recreate it with my gmail account and his laptop consistently. My Mac Mail shows the attachments fine as well.
I also tried to zip the file before sending it to gmail, and gmail recognized that it was a zip file, but when I tried to save it to the desktop on windows, it only saved the truncated version after gmail un-zipped it.
I do not know if this is a Mac Mail or a Gmail issue. I am not sure what is happening to these messages. Can any shed some light or give me some troubleshooting tips? Anything that I can try would be great. Thanks!

It has nothing to do with the contains. I believe it's a bug, and if you search translators lists like Systran's, you will discover this issue is spreading virically. Do not know what happens. What is known about this by embattled Mac users who now have to stop using Mail app: the phenomena begins out of the blue, one day works, one do not, it affects every file type (seems to be a problem with the name only, nothing to do with ASCII issues) and also, activating the "windows friendly" part does nothing. My case is really funny because I have one mac account with several mail accounts included, and it began with the main one (the others sent files ok) and now every account is affected. My boss is crazy with this. After a certain amount of time in the gmail account, the names appear fully sometimes, but obviously you can't tell a client, "sorry, you have to wait one day to check your mail, because I'm using Mac and it looks great, but it can't send attchments". Google says it's Apple's error, and Apple do not answer.

Displaying Senders name when receiving a text mess...

Hiya,
Not sure if there is an app or a way of doing this - but can you download something for the N96 that when you get a text message come through, instead of it just saying "1 New Message" it'll say "1 New Message from x" where x is the senders name?
Just a little tweak really that'll be nice I suppose! Tried searching for a similar question on here, and there may well be one but I didn't get through all the pages...
Thanks for help!

Psycho, once again you amaze me. How do you find out about all these little applications that I've never even heard off? Must get you to send me a list of applications you have and what they are for.

IPad2, email app sync with Gmail - spells my name wrong?

I set up default mail app on iPad2 to sync with Gmail, and the app auto-spells my name wrong.
So every time I send an email via that app, it indicates the email came from "Scram"...but it's supposed to be "Schram". I can only assume this is some kind of auto correct funtion.
I've looked all through my Gmail account, nothing is incorrect there. I don't see anywhere that I can change this.
Any thoughts?

My co-worker fixed this issue for me this morning in under a minute. Go to Settings> Mail, Contacts, Calendars> Gmail (should be at the top under Accounts heading)> Click on your email address in the Account bar> This takes you to Gmail Account Information> Check that your name is spelled correctly in the Name bar.
I hope this works for you! Let me know!

Changing senders name

hi,
i have a .Mac account and use the Mail programme on my mac to send and recieve emails.
for privacy reasons i want to change the names of several people in the 'from' section of the mail message window.
any ideas on how to do this?
i've managed to change the name in .Mac on line but the names come through the as they were originally when viewed in the Mail programme.
all help/ comments greatly appreciated.

I assume what you are trying to do is send an email so that individual recipients cannot see the list of other recipients. The way to do that is to send the email with yourself in the To: field, and the recipients in the Bcc: field. Bcc = blind carbon copy. In Mail, in the new message window where you are composing the message, click on the to the left of the Subject: field and select "Bcc Address Field", then enter the list of recipients there.
Rereading your original post, I'm not sure that's what you want to do - but I also don't know what you mean by "+names of several people in the 'from' section of the mail message+", because mail can only be From one account, so there shouldn't be several names in that field.
Let us know if the above solves your problem, and if not can you clarify what you want to do?
EDIT: If you are actually trying to change the name of the sender (i.e. your name), that's called spoofing (sending an email as if you were someone else, with the intent of having a recipient read the email because they think it's from that other person, not you). It's akin to spamming, actually. If you simply want to send anonymous emails, just get yourself a gmail account under a made-up name and send from that.

How do I change the PHP code so that the name of the senders name appears in the email subject line?

I need help please, altering the PHP code generated when exporting my Muse websites (to a host other than Business Catalyst). The emails generated from the forms need to have the sender's name in the subject line of the emails.

This would require editing the published php page outside of Muse and would require the knowledge of PHP. You may get the required info at http://www.php.net or some PHP specific forums.
Thanks,

Inbox won't display senders names from Contacts list?

Is there a way to get the iPhone email Inbox to display the sender's name from my Contacts list when the user is on my Contact's list? As it is now, when I go to my Inbox on the iPhone, it shows a list of email addresses instead of the name's of the users, even though they are on my Contacts list. Once I click on a message and view it, then it shows the Contact List user name, but it does not show that data on the Inbox page.
Is this a bug or is there a setting to change this behavior or something else?
Thank you.

Mikeintokyo and C.Moser,
I'm with ya. I wonder if someone somewhere is working on an mail app that can both display names and allow us to use emoticons. Having used emoticons for years with my students, the sudden lack of them has some of them thinking I'm mad at them. Also, when I try to use the heartmark or other symbols available thru the numbers keypad, the email I send is apparently unreadable.

Senders Name - System ID

Dear Experts
SAP R/3 4.7
We are having a setup to send workflow work-item to external e-mail address as well and SAPconnect is place and working fine.
Question:
When SAP sending these workflow work-items to external e-mail the sender name is System ID (i.e., S00 for instance) is there a way to change this sender name to some meaning full customer defined text?
Thanks in advance for the expert advices
Best Regards,
A. Riaz

Hi,
You will have to configure Workflow System Administrator.
Go to transaction SWU3, and then to
"Maintian Workflow System Administrator".
All outgoing mails will then take the name of this administrator.
Hope this helps..

Non display of senders name on text messages

Hi
On my Nokia 1100 when I recieve a text from a contact in my address book, the phone DOES NOT display their name, only their number.
How can I set the phone so that it displays names?
Thanks!!
Richard

Is this the same with incoming / outgoing calls? If so, chances are the number's in your memory twice - possibly in the Sim memory and Phone Memory - delete one, then see if their names show up. (Make a note of it first just incase it's not and you lose it)

Wrong senders name when sending an email from my ipad mini

Displaying the senders name when a text message is...

The 5800 and 5530 don't dispaly the name of the sender when a text message is received, right?
Well so I thought. and I wasn't too happy about it as all my previous phones had this facility.
Then a few days ago I got a message on my 5530 and when I looked at the screen there waa white star overlaying the image of the sender on my contacts bar.
Great, I thought, I'd never noticed that before! But how could this be? I haven't had a firmware upgrade or anything.
Since then I've found that I occasionally get the star on messages from this one contact, but not on messages from any of my other contacts.
What's going on? I've searched the web and can find no references to this at all.
Have any other users noticed this feature? And can anyone explain why it doen't work for all contacts?

you will have a double entry of the contact, if more than one name attached to a number the phone doesn't know who sent it,eg if you have John Smith and Johns Mobile attached to 123456 then the phone sees the number and doesn't know who sent it, check your contacts and delete duplicate/multiple entries, many threads on this subject on the forum. Always the reason !
Good Luck
