Name showing on emails

When I receive emails as part of a CC group on my mobile phone, my name on the CC section of the incoming/replying email is not showing up correctly. When I look at the very same email on my laptop, my name is correct - it shows there as "me", and when I hover the mouse cursor over that, it shows my actual email address, correctly. However, what it shows up as on my mobile phone is actually part of the password to that very same email account, which is somewhat alarming!
I have checked all options on that email account for how my name shows, and that is how it should be, and on my mobile phone, all seems correct, too. There is nowhere that shows that part of my password, so I do not understand how it is showing as a "shortcut" to my email address.
I would appreciate help here, thank you, as this is obviously some kind of privacy error.

Check in the mail settings, under that Gmail account, where it says "Account name-@-..." - tap that and see that the name on the next screen is spelled correctly.

Wrong name showing on emails sent from my wife's iPhone 4s. Why?

The tech at the Apple store switched my wife's iPhone 3G to her new 4s at the apple store. Something was entered incorrectly as now all emails sent fron her phone go out wth her name mis-spelled. If she sends an e-mail directly from her Gmail account it sends with the correct e-mail name. If a gmail is sent from her I phone her name shows as mis-spelled. One of the settings on her iPhone is incorrect... but where might that be?
Driving her crazy.

Wrong name shows on emails in Snow Leopard email program

My emails are suddenly appearing to come from a name mentioned in an email but one that has not ever in my addressbook instead of my own. Since I volinteer for this person, it is very embarrassing for Her name(misspelled) to show up as the person who sent email from my computer instead of my own name. How do I fix this?

The right place to ask this question is here:

I lost my address book when I installed Mountain Lion and have not been able to recover it. WHen I type in a name in an email the address shows up, so I know it is in there. How can I restore my address book?

I don't know how to do this. I typed the question in the bar above, but apparently need to type it again here. I lost my entire address book when I installed Mountain Lion and have been unable to recover it. I know the information is in there as when I type in someone's name in an email the address always shows up right away. How can I find the information for my contacts and restore my address book? Do I need to go to the Apple Store that is 2 hours away and have an expert help me or can I find out how to do it online for free myself?

The auto-complete in Mail addresses comes from two sources: (1) The "Previous Recipients" list, which can be viewed via Mail > Window > Previous Recipients. (2) Your Address Book (now called "Contacts").
If you did in fact lose your Address Book - are you sure you don't have "Contacts" in your Applications Folder? - It sounds like you are getting addresses from source (1). If you did in fact lose your Address Book (now called "Contacts" !!), you will have to restore it from a backup.

Is there a way of having the email name show and not the Company name.

I have a few address listing for Companies that have 7 or 8 names.
I have them listed with the custom names for each person separately.
I really do not need separate e-mail listings for each person.
Is there a way that would list the individuals name on the email header and not the Company name.
IOW's : ABC company and a listing for John Smith shows ABC when I mail it.
I gather also that it would show ABC when John Smith received it.
I am trying to give it a more personal touch without creating dozens of additional address's.
Thanks,

Thanks for replying Dan, you're right, I should provide more context.
I want to be able to duplicate a shape inside a layer a number of times, and with every duplicated shape, I want that shape to evaluate what number it is (based on a name I give it so I could name it '1' and then use something like 'eval(propertyname)' to return a number or perhaps use an index to count the number of shapes in the layer) and multiply that number by some set of rules that I can define and control through a list of expression controls on another layer. This would allow me to duplicate a square 10 times and have each square's position do something like
x = thisShapeNumber + shapeLength * TranslateExpressionControl;
y = 0;
[x,y]
which would form a long line of squares for instance. Does that make sense?
thanks in advance!

How do I configure Sprint Mobile Email to show my name in the email return address?

I am using Sprint Mobile Email to check & send my Yahoo email on my Palm Centro. When I send emails it only shows my email address in the return address and not my name. I have my name set up in Yahoo but it doesn't get picked up when I send emails from my phone.
How do I configure Sprint Mobile Email to also show my name in the email return address? Everyone may not recognize my email address as being me.
Thank you

Email workflow showing domain and alias and not the name in the email

I created an email workflow for a specific user field value to receive an email on a trigger event.
However, the email received shows the DOMAIN/Alias and not the "Name" in the email content.
How to correct this error? Not sure where is the issue is.
Sample:
Hello [%Current Item: Reviewer%] is the greeting line.
If Reviewer is say Domain A/v-abcd and Name is Abcd.
The email reads
"Hello Domain A/v-abcd" and not "Hello Abcd"

Hi,
Just select "Display Name" instead of "Login Name" in the "Return field as" field of Lookup dialog.
It should help.

Email Name showing up to recipient

I have several email accounts set up on my BB. When I use any of my accounts other than my primary, my name will not show up to the recipient of the email, rather it shows my email address. I can not find a way within the setup options for the addition email accounts to have my name show up rather than my email. I know I must be overlooking something very obvious, who would not have the ability to have a senders name show rather than email.
Any help appreciated.
Matt

This should be in the Manage Internet Email setup page. Can you go into that page and edit the settings? If you can't do it from the device try going to your carrier BIS web based setup page.

Wrong name shows up attached to my email address when I send mail.

I reply to emails (or send them) and an unaffiliated name show up as sent from or to. For instance, I write an email to a client from my [email protected] email account and instead of showing up as from Sue VonderBecke, it shows up as being from Elaine Abbey! I think it does this on the inklings account and my gmail account but I can't be sure as it only happens sporadically. How do I purge Elaine Abbey from the system?

Tools menu (ALt+T) > account settings.
Click on the account entries and check the display name is corre3ct.
Click on the outgoing server (SMTP) and ensure the correct server is selected for Default.
Finally make sure the gmail SMTP server is for the account you think it is. IF you use a gmail account registered to Elaine Abbey to send mail for another name Google will very helpfully correct the sender.

SAML-based claims authentication in SharePoint: how to show Display Name instead of email address?

Hello,
I followed the following step by step guide for SAML-based claims authentication with ADFS:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh305235.aspx
The authentication works well; however, Sharepoint shows the users’ email everywhere including at the top right suite-bar. I rather to see users’ display name instead of email. Is there any way to have SharePoint shows user’s display name instead of email
address when the primary SAML claim is email address?
Thank you,

You need to be able to import the identity store into the UPA. See http://sharepointobservations.wordpress.com/2013/08/06/sharepoint-2013-configure-user-profile-service-for-adfs-provider/ for
a good step-by-step on how this is configured.

Im having problems with contacts on my iPad. One of my contacts names shows up when I choose any one of 36 contacts. the email goes to the correct email address that I've chosen but the incorrect name shows up in the To: area of the email

I'm having problems with contacts on my iPad. One of my contacts names shows up when I choose any one of 36 contacts. the email goes to the correct email address that I've chosen but the incorrect name shows up in the To: area of the email. Has anyone else experienced this...if so I hope there is a fix

Hello there erika274,
It sounds like no matter what contact you put into the 'To' field, a different name appears, but the email makes it to the intended recipient. I would recommend a few things here. First, close all the open apps on the device:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that restart the phone:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If the issue persists, I would next backup your device to iTunes, and restore it:

IMessage on MacBook Pro shows i'm my friend. My friend's photo and name shows in every conversation instead of mine. How do I fix this?

iMessage on MacBook Pro shows i'm my friend. My friend's photo and name shows in every conversation instead of mine. How do I fix this?

I am using my own Apple ID. (My father doesn't even have one). I seem to recall having to select a contact or something to assign to my iMessage app when I used it the first time on my iPad. I checked the settings and it is set to my apple ID and correct email address. Any other ideas?

I can't change the sender/receiver name on my email

This seems like a simple problem, but I can't solve it. On my email, I send a message and it shows my wife's name as sender on the recipient's received email. I thought it was caused by my wife's entry in the Address Book showing our email address, so I deleted her entry from the Address Book, but it didn't remove the problem. I see no other connection of my wife to my email account so I cannot figure out how to have my name show as sender on my emails. Any suggestions?

Have you had any luck with this as I have the same issue

Drop Down Box Choose A Name and Have only the first name show up

I am creating a form for health care.
I have a drop down box with names of Physicians... their full names so they can be easily identified. And then subsequent fields that will be populated based off of the choice. However What I need is that after the full name from the drop down list is selected than only the Dr's First name shows up in the box to be distributed through out the file. All the rest of the information is already in using this Java:
switch(this.rawValue){
    case "MD":
        form1.Page1.Physician1LastName.rawValue = " Acccc";
        form1.Page1.Physician1Number.rawValue = "1111111111";
        form1.Page1.Physician1Fax.rawValue = "2222222222";
        form1.Page1.ClientEmail.rawValue = "[email protected]";
        form1.Page1.Physician1Address.rawValue = "xyz suite ";
        form1.Page1.Physician1City.rawValue = "XYY CIth";
        form1.Page1.Physician1State.rawValue = "XZ";
        form1.Page1.Physician1Zip.rawValue = "11111";
        form1.Page1.Physician1NPI.rawValue = "111111111";
        form1.Page1.Physician1License.rawValue = "ABBB111111";
        form1.Page1.Physician1UPIN.rawValue = "A11111";
        form1.Page1.Physician1Specialization.rawValue = "Internist";
        break;
And is working beautifully thanks for previous help everyone.
Here is the example from the Drop Down list choices:
     Dr. Aaaaa Abb Accccc
     Dr. Baaaa Bbb Bccccc
I would like to choose :
     Dr. Aaaaa A Aaaaa
and upon chosing it have it show only the first name in that field so it can be processed correctly through out the rest of the fields.
ie:    Aaaaa   (Only nothing else)
I am a horrible at this stuff I just surf around until I find something that works and copy and paste and play until it works
So Please be specific:
Java vs FOrm: Client: Choice   and code ....
Thanks SO much ....

Take a look at the attached. The script assumes the name is a three-part string such as Dr. Frank Burns. You can modify it according to your needs.
// form1.page1.dd::exit - (JavaScript, client)
if (this.rawValue != null) {
var doc = this.rawValue;
var i = doc.indexOf(" ");
doc = doc.substring(i+1,doc.length);
this.rawValue = doc.substring(0,doc.indexOf(" "));

HT201991 When I review an app, my 'name' shows up as just a bunch of random letters.

I noticed that if I review an app, my name shows up as just a string of random letters like "BJKCLCJDOIOSUODIDJDJLD"
I also noticed that it seems everyone else's review name shows up as at least something that reads like a nickname.
I have tried finding help on why this is but cannot. Can anyone help me here? My apple id is my email address and not sure there's any way to change that.
Thanks for any help!

I have an iPhone 6 and have been having this issue since I got it in December 2014. Apps open on their own, scrolling up and down, etc. It's like a ghost is touching the screen. It seems to be the worst when my Verizon connection is only at 3G or my wifi strength is low. I'm not sure if it's an iPhone thing or a carrier issue?? Any ideas?
