N9 email from name, where is the option?

Question

In the Mail app I'm trying to send email with a custom name and custom email address. I set up Other mail account (IMAP/SMTP). This worked fine in Nokia E55 for example (custom from name and address). In N9, I don't find any place to change the sender email address and also the name inserted into Accounts -> Other mail account -> My name doesn't seem to have any effect. The messages are sent just by the IMAP email address (no full name). Outgoing mail server username doesn't have effect on the visible from field either.
Where are the working sender options?

Answer 1

yes, this is a draw-back for sure.
i found a way around it.
first, it sounds like you are only able to send from the IMAP email that you set as the default.
in order to change the "from" email address, you will need to tap the "down arrow" under the subject, there you will see the "from" and you can tap and change it there.
there seems to be an issue with the signiture not working correctly, so it will not change from what your default email signiture says. so if you want to have the correct signiture, then you will need to go to the inbox of the email account and then tap the + for a new email from there.
as for changing what you want it to show...
i cannot make the email show "Jim Hoyle", but lets say your email is [email protected] and you want people to actually see [email protected], then you would do that during setup.
when setting up the account, type in [email protected] and use an incorrect password.
once it fails, then tap manual and change all the data you need to for the correct settings. now when you send an email, in the 'from' area on the recievers end, it will show [email protected]
hope that helps.
