Name changes on sent email

My wife and I have a joint gmail email address, and I have designated the name in the accounts pane with both our names.  However, when I send an email, it appears in the "Sent items" with just my name.  I don't know where Mail is getting 'just my name' from, or how to get it to send the joint name I have in the Mail accounts preferences.  Can anybody help?
This has only started relatively recently (maybe with Mavericks?).  And it doesn't happen with emails sent from my iPad.

Hello, and welcome to the Discussions.
This message normally does not mean what it appears to say, but rather is the result of some errors with the index for all mailboxes.
You have a .mac account, correct? What Account Type have you used to set of the .mac subscription account?

  • Domain name changes when sent to external mail ids

    Here's the problem...
    We are sending PO's as pdf's to the vendor..
    If the vendor domain name is vendor.com and mine is company.com.
    SAP sends a mail
    To [email protected] ;[email protected]
    CC : [email protected]
    When the mail reaches the vendor it shows as
    To [email protected] ;[email protected]
    CC : [email protected]
    the domain name of person2 gets changed though person2 does get the mail...and when the purchase manager at the company looks at it in his inbox - it looks as it should be.
    I checked SOST it shows the correct mail id.This is not specific to a particular domain occurs with all domains .
    Has anyone encountered such a problem before.
    Regards

    Hello Navjot,
    if you have some basis background you can check TCode SCOT there you can see if the mail connect for external mails is configured correctly. There shoud be at least a node for SMTP communication. If there is such node check that sending s not restricted to certain adresses. Furthermore you could check over the menu if the default domain is set properly.
    Kind Regards

  • Exchange delegate names changing to email address.

    I have four Delegates configured in my iCal(v. 4.0.4) app and the names shown for each will change to my email address at random times. So far I haven't been able to make heads or tails of it. Basically, their calendar is intact and completely visible in my iCal, but their name changes to my email address at random times. I can click on the name and type their name back in, but this problem happens on a daily basis. Any ideas? My iCal app is configured to access our Exchange 2010 server here on campus. I've tried deleting all iCal and Mail preferences from my local hard drive and resetting them up again. The only way to fix it is to remove the delegate from the iCal Accounts->Delegation window and re-add them. This pulls their correct name from the Exchange server, but it doesn't seem to stick around for too long. After a while, the name just randomly changes to my email address.

    I get exactly the same issues ( renaming delegate account, randomly, to my email address - can rename in delegates list, or delete and re-add to fix it, but it always changes again at some point)
    Strangely, though, this has only started since our work email has changed from one exchange service provider to a new one. Both exchange servers are using Exchange 2007 setups, but in the old one, I never got this problem, with the new one, I get it all the time - so I'm beginning to think there's an exchange configuration / iCal interaction going on.
    Anyone come up with a solution yet?

  • How to change the name associated with iCloud email alias??

    I had MobileMe on the iPhone with alias email addresses and I liked how it didn’t attach any “name” to an alias. For example, I had MainUserName, then for aliases I would have [email protected], [email protected], etc. When I sent an email from my iPhone using one of the aliases as the "from" no name would be associated with the alias email address. If it was the MainUserName then it would associate it, e.g. Main User <[email protected]> will show up on the "From" field when I sent an email. But with iCloud on the iPhone (and iPad), it’s Main User <[email protected]>, Main User <[email protected], etc., which I don’t want.  If anything it should be Alias 1 <[email protected]> or Alias 2 <[email protected]>.  Anyway, I don't want any name associated with the aliases, so when I send an email it will simply say [email protected] or just [email protected] with no name association. 
    It works differently if I access iCloud through a web browser.  If I send an email via iCloud on the web, I can customize and have a different name with each alias, e.g., Tom <[email protected]> or Harry <[email protected]>  And the customization carries over to the Mail app on my Mac.  That would be ideal if the customization carried over to the iPhone and iPad, but I'd be happy if there was no name association with alias email addresses.  Hopefully, there's a solution to the iPhone/iPad situation with iCloud as I don't want the name linked with the main iCloud email address linked with all the different email aliases I have.

    Can I change the name associated with an ipod on my Mac?
    Select the iPod in the iTunes source list, click on its name, and type a new name.
    And can there be more than one iPod on one computer?
    Yes.

  • How can i change my icloud email address? i mis typed my name and wanted to change my icloud email address??, how can i change my icloud email address? i mis typed my name and wanted to change my icloud email address??

    hello guys ...i need any help or suggestions, how can i change my icloud email address?? i typed a w rong name by mistake?? can i change it and retype the correct one? thanks ...your suggestio is higly appreciated.

    That's definitely not supposed to happen.  You shouldn't have someone else's iCloud email linked to your ID.
    You'll have to get iCloud support to sort this one out.  The only way to contact them is to start here: http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/.  You'll have to provide your iPhone serial number.  Unless it's within the 90 day free support window, or you purchased AppleCare, there will be a charge.  I suppose you can plead your case when they answer that you shouldn't be charged as you didn't set up this address and it shouldn't have happened with your ID.

  • How do I change the 'Sent' folder to display the persons name I sent to and NOT my name?

    Today BT Mail told me my BT Internet account had been migrated from the old Yahoo (defunct) account to their own new BT Mail.  So I am using IMAP and therefore had to delete my account on my devices and set up again in order to continue to receive my mail. 
    I have duly followed their instructions and done this, and synced my calendar and contacts using their 'how to' web pages.... 
    Now I am checking everything is ok.... and note that the 'Sent' folder now lists all the emails that I have sent under MY name.  So if I'm looking for an email I sent to a particular person, I can't really, as all the emails are listed in my name.  I have to open each one to find out who I sent the mail to.  Very time wasting.
    I have yet to update my iPhone with the same instructions - dialogue box currently stating 'cannot get mail' until I update the settings.... But I can see the 'sent' folder is showing sent emails in a list displaying the recipients' name... As it should do.
    Question: How can I flip the display round to list the recipients' name in the sent list?   I have looked but can't see how to do it.  Thanks.

    Each account should have its own sent folder. Since mails may be sent from different accounts through different servers.
    If you have moe than one account, and send mails from more than one of them then you will a sent folder for each account you sue to send emails from.
    As to the names, it will show techncially the first recipient in the list or recipients iof there is mor ethan one. If that happens to be you then it will show you.
    As to how to edit,  there should be an edit link to the right of the original post.

  • TS4020 Can I change my iCloud email address name without creating a new account?

    CCan I change my iCloud email address name without creating a new account?

    Once you have created an iCloud account and chosen an @icloud.com address to go with it you can't change the address (short of creating an entirely new account).
    However, all is not lost. You can add up to three 'email aliases' - these are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main account. (In fact it's a good idea to give out alias addresses, rather than the main address, because if they attract spam you can easily change them.) (New aliases can only be @icloud.com ones; @me.com addresses cannot now be created.)
    You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account or move it to another account.

  • Setting Display Name for sent emails

    Hi All,
    I want to set a display name for sent emails. For example: when I send emails using [email protected] and after receivign this amil in my inbox it says from [email protected] Is there any way that I can show display name for this like Kartik <[email protected]>.
    is there any API by which I can set this display name? Or this has to be done on mail server?
    Any help would be appreciated!!
    Thanks, Kartik

    it asks for a attribute messageFrom and passes it to SMTPTransport. I have tried setting different values for messageFrom like
    messageFrom=Test Email
    messageFrom="Test Email"
    but it didn't work for me. it expects a domain name there (even if its dummy) like
    messageFrom=[email protected]
    Can you tell me at which place InternetAddress is been called by SMTPTransport so that I can write my own impl for it.

  • ICloud email name change. Help please

    Is there anyway I can change an iCloud email address? Can I make another iCloud email address? I was setting up a new MacBook Pro for a gift to my nephew and I left out a letter in his last name. I need to delete this one or somehow add another. Any solutions for my dumb ***?

    You can create an alias (3 actually) and use that instead.

  • Primary email domain name change

    We are going to be changing our company's email domain name shortly in order to make it shorter.  We are running Exchange 2010, mostly Outlook 2010, on a mostly Server 2008 domain but still running in 2003 mode.  We have a trust with a sister company
    and until they upgrade to 2008 we cannot upgrade.
    As an example we are changing our domain name from @microsoftcontoso.com to @contoso.com.
    I am testing in my machine and set exchange & our spam filters to accept email from contoso.com.  I also changed my primary email address to be @contoso.com. I tested to my personal email and my new emails are coming from the correct email address.
    My issue lies in the fact that my Outlook client still shows my email address as @microsoftcontoso.com.  If I create a new outlook profile on a new computer, it does show it as being just @contoso.com.
    My question is how do I mass update everyone's Outlook in order for their Outlook client to show their new domain email address?  My fear is people will get confused and think they have the wrong address.
    Thank you for any help provided.

    Hi,
    Based on my research, group policy can help Outlook sync the new primary email address.
    For more information, you can refer to the following similar thread:

  • Internet Email Domain Name Change

    Mangagement wants our email domain name changed because of it's length. Another government agency handles hosting for us now and can't change it for us. I have paid for a new name using a company on the internet and now have to switch it over. I see, in console one, that I can create a second name in Tools -> Groupwise System Operations -> Internet addressing and then set one of them to preffered. Can I do this and then set the new name as preferred? I would like to allow email that is addressed to the old email domain name to flow to the users for 30 days. Looks like I will need to change the foriegn ID in the gwia and also the name in the internal groupwise domain properties. Is there anything else that needs to be done? Is this the best way to do this? Thanks
