Smtp - change my full name when i send an email

How do i get to change my name (my full name): When i send now an email the people who get my email see the adres of my email, but also my Full Name.
I understand that this i sthe name that i have typed in when i activted the icloud account and this is the name that people see when they get an email from me. But how can i change this?
I logged in on my profile, and changed my name, but still my earlier name is there to see. And i don't want that. (no, i have nothing to hide )

This might work.  I had the same problem in Mail on my iMac.
FIrst, login to www.icloud.com.  If your name is right on iCloud, open Mail in the iCloud window and click on the gear icon (prefeences)  You can fix your name there.  On the iMac, I had to wait a few minutes, quit and restart Mail, and check preferences.  Then on starting a new message, there was a pulldown under "From", that I used to select the one with my correct name and correct email address.  I just deleted that blank email, and others since then default to the correct name.
Don't know if this will work for mail sent from the iPhone, but once the Cloud Mail is corrected, hopefully it will do the trick.

  • How do I hide the recipients' names when I send an email to lots of people?

    I'm going to send a message to a lot of people I know, and I think some of them would rather not have their email addresses showing. How do I hide them?

    Firefox doesn't do email, it's strictly a web browser.
    If you are using Firefox to access your mail, you are using "web-mail". You need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.

  • Can't change the "from" address when I send an Email.

    I have recently changed my email address but my iPhoto is still trying to use my old one.  I thought I should be able to use the drop down to select the other address but only the old one shows.  I have checked my Address Book, Email Accounts, and iPhoto Preferences.  I can't seem to change my default email address anywhere so that my default reflects the new email account.
    Has anyone seen this and better yet, fixed it?  Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Rob

    Thanks Eric.  That did the trick.  I must have looked through the preferences 4 times.  I had deleted my old Mobile Me account out of there, but I didn't see the "Email" account.  I deleted it and set up the iCloud account and it worked great.

  • When I send an email it displays the full email address instead of just the name even thought the person is in my contacts. How to fix?

    Hi Sunny C,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!  The "From" field should be showing by default, but you can check or change your settings for Mail with the instructions below:
    Mail (Yosemite): Set Mail preferences
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH19178
    In the Composing pane, you can set the email account that you want to send new messages from.
    Also, check the View command on the Menu bar.  View > Message Attributes should have a checkmark beside the "From" field.
    Cheers,
    Judy

    Hey samsept3,
    Thanks for the question. I understand you wish to change the display name of your Mail account in OS X. This can be configured in Mail > Preferences > Accounts > [Account Name] > Full Name
    For more information, see the following:

    When I send an email the receiving party sees my husbands name, instead of my name, how can i change that?

    Use the Settings app tO check what's in your email account information.
    Ssettings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Tap on your email account > in the Account Information is your name or your husbands name listed in the first line?
    if your husbands name is there change it to your name.

  • For my iCloud account, how do I change the "full name" that appears as the sender?

    On my iCloud IMAP email account, the account lists my "full name" as the sender.  How do I change this to a nickname?  Curently, that "full name" rectangle is grayed out so I don't know how to change what's there.  Thanks for your help!

    You need to change this on the iCloud website, http://icloud.com - go to the Mail page, click the cogwheel icon at top right and choose 'Preferences', then click 'Accounts' in the toolbar of the pane which opens.
    Select the main account and you can change the Full Name. If you have aliases you will have to change it separately for each of them.

  • How can I change the "Full Name" for my iCloud account?

    Hello,
    At some point in the past, iCloud started identifying me as someone else when I send emails. This incorrect name appears to be the "Full Name" setting of the email account, but when modifying the properties for the email account in Mail the field for modifying the "Full Name" setting is disabled, not allowing me to make any changes.
    Where is the correct place to change the "Full Name" setting for my iCloud account?
    Thanks,
    - Josh

    I believe it can be changed by going to https://appleid.apple.com/, click Manage your Apple ID, sign in with your iCloud ID, select "Name, ID and Email Addresses", then click "Edit" next to the name listed under "Your Name" and change it as desired.
    Also, if you are trying to change the sender name for your iCloud email account, you'll want to go to icloud.com, sign into your account, open Mail, click the gear shaped icon on the bottom left and choose Preferences, go to the Accounts tab and enter the name you want to use in the Full Name field and click Done.  Then quit Mail (Command-Q) on your Mac and re-open it.  Your new From name should now appear in the drop-down list when you compose a new email.

    You need a separate email address but you've already ruled out that solution.

  • When I send an email my contacts are changed in my Address Book on both my Mac and  iPhone4.

    All my contacts are entered only in the first name space. ie John Smith is entered as John Smith in just the first name entry space - I don't use the last name space at all. When I send an email, that person's address gets changed immediately my address book which duplicates the first name into the last name space. I have tried deleting all my contacts and resynching them from my iPhone but the problem persists. Can anyone help me fix this?
    I am running an iMac with Lion and my mail client is Mail. My ISP is gmail.

    Double check your contacts email, and if its incorrect, go to their contact and change it and save it or you can delete the email you put in, and manually type it in.
    Hope this helps.
    How would that help the original poster?

    To change it on and iOS device, go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars...tap your iCloud email account, tap you iCloud account at the top, tap Mail at the bottom, then enter the name you want to use in the Name field at the top.
    To change the From name on your Mac Mail, go to icloud.com, sign into your account, open Mail, click the gear shaped icon on the top right and choose Preferences, go to the Accounts tab and enter the name you want to use in the Full Name field and click Done.  Then quit Mail on your Mac and re-open it.  Your new From name should now appear in the drop-down list when you compose a new email.

  • Change gmail outgoing name when sent from iphone4

    hi!
    so, i have my gmail account set up on iphone and it works all fine and peachy but...
    all my outgoing e-mails sent from iphone have my username displayed as outgoing name.
    (for example: say, my e-mail is [email protected] all my outgoing e-mails, sent from iphone display Pink Elephant as my name, which looks kind of awkward, when i'm replying to business related e-mails)
    just to be clear: when i go to Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> GMAIL -> Account... it doesn't have the name field.
    it has:
    - email
    - server
    - domain
    - username
    - password
    - description
    and the option to use SSL. that's it.
    any ideas how to change the outgoing name?
    thanks!

    wjosten, the thing is - it has my name in gmail settings. i checked. it works fine, when i e-mail from a computer.
    changing it has no effect on my outgoing name, when i send from iphone.
    but thanks
    upd: yeah, what Leann said
