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.

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.

  • Why does an email sent from an iPad or iPhone to ms outlook appear with attachments? Example signatures tend to be broken down into a series of unwanted attachments!

    Why does an email sent from an iPad or iPhone to ms outlook appear with attachments? Example: signatures at the bottom of the mail tend to be broken down into a series of unwanted attachments!

    It worked for me. I took a picture with the iPhone's camera. Then opened the Photos app and selected the picture, and emailed it from one of my IMAP accounts to my gmail (also IMAP) account. When it showed up in the gmail inbox (on my iPhone), I forwarded it to my yahoo mail account (choosing the "inlcude attachments" option). When that showed up on my iPhone's yahoo inbox, the picture was there just as it should be.
    So I guess the next thing would be to try it with non-iPhone pictures to see if it is a problem with image size or something. I have some 6-megapixel images in iPhoto I can try (taken as RAW/DEC format pictures with my dSLR).
    Just tried it sending a Photo from my computer's iPhoto library - picture is 728KB, 2272x1704 jpeg. I emailed it to my gmail account, and it showed up on the iPhone just fine. Then I forwarded that to my yahoo account and again, it showed up just fine on both the iPhone and reading my yahoo mail via the web page.
    Don't know what to say - I don't mean this to be just another "works for me" post. I was hoping to see something maybe depending on the size and origin of the picture.
    By the way, my 3GS shipped with 3.0.1 on it, and I've updated it via iTunes normally to 3.1.1 and currently 3.1.2. Sorry I don't have anything constructive to add.

  • ICloud emails sent from apple mail or iPhone 3gs never arrives, works fine when sent from iCloud website

    The ony place I have been able to send and receive email since the launch of iCloud has been the icloud website. I wasn't able to send email from my iphone 3gs or apple mail at all until today, now it finally appears to let me send email but it never arrives to its destination.
    I can send an email from the icloud website without issue, and email sent from my icloud account using my iphone 3gs and apple mail seems to send fine and without error but who knows where it goes.
    Has anyone else experienced this issue?
    Thanks!
    Charles

    I figured out how to fix it... if anyone else has this problem, go to Outlook > Preferences > Accounts > select the IMAP account > Advanced > Folders and for "Store Sent Messages in this Folder:" select "Sent Messages (Server)."

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • TS3276 An email sent from my iMac has a button linked to a clip hosted on Vimeo. When received, the link functions on iMac and iPad, but opens a window of app icons on iPhone and iPod touch. Any ideas what's wrong?

    An email sent from my iMac has a button linked to a clip hosted on Vimeo. When received, the link functions on iMac and iPad, but opens a window of app icons on iPhone and iPod touch. Any ideas what's wrong?

    For anyone else reading this thread, it is worth knowing that sometimes an email is, or can be, corrupted thereby jamming the works. The solution above is good, but I just wanted to suggest another one.
    If the problem arises, go to an online mail access service, such as Mail2Web.com and login to you mail account there and delete the offending message.
    Problem solved.
    And George, as this is all entirely voluntary, whinging about no takers may not endear people to you. Besides which, a few minutes of searching on Google would have found you a number of solutions.

  • Attachments in a group email sent from outlook 2007 do not show in the message

    iPad doesn't show attachments in a group email sent from a Windows 7 PC using outlook 2007. Doesn't matter what the attachment is, if it is sent to a group created in Outlook the attachments do not come through. Is this a bug in iOS? My Google Nexus 4 phone handles the attachments just fine.

    <blockquote>
    Is the 'in the clear' bar code number part of an image, it may be not shown because it was remote content?
    What happens if you read the email using 'PlainText view' ?
    'View' > 'Message body as' > 'Plain text'
    Do you have anti-virus software scanning emails?
    If yes, then switch it off to see if it is effecting the emails when it downloads.

    Thank you very much Toad-Hall. That is the information I needed. Perfect!

  • Why doesn't email sent from iPhoto v9.4.3 show in my "Sent" mail?

    1. Why doesn't email sent from iPhoto v9.4.3 show in my "Sent" mail?
    2. Why does it always ask for a password before sending, when I'm already logged in?

    If you are using the iPhoto email client there is no sent mail box
    My suggestion is to set Mail as your email client and then you have everythin in Mail and have a sent mail box

  • I have several email account setup on iphone.  for one of them can receive from/to emails from phone, but emails sent from computer not received on phone.  phone shows receiving but does not come thru

    I have iphone 4s with several email accounts set up.  For one of these accounts, and only one, test emails sent from phone come thru fine.  But computer generated mail doesn't come to phone.  For test messages phone shows "receiving" but nothing comes to inbox.  External sent mail does not  come to phone inbox, but does to outlook on computer.  Have checked settings and these seem correct.  What's up?  Four other accounts work fine.

    If you can send e-mail when on WiFi from home, but not when on 3G, that indicates your email provider is blocking e-mail being sent from outside their network. This is done to control Spam. ISPs who do this will usually have a separate SMTP server that should be used when using a mobile device. Check with them again.

  • TS3276 when I send an email from one account, it shows up as sent from another gmail account. Anybody ever run into this

    When I send an email from one of my accounts, it shows up as sent from another account. Does anyone know how to correct this?

    As Ernie said, you need to create an SMTP server for each gmail account with the correct username and password. Be sure the correct server for each account is listed in the SMTP box and check the box to use only that server for that account.
    Gmail's default behavior when sending from one account through another account's outgoing server is to change the address to the server which is used. Same goes if I send a message from my ATT/Yahoo account and use gmail's server to send through. It will change the ATT address to the gmail address.
    There is an option in gmail's settings under the Account's tab under Send Mail As. You can add different gmail or other accounts such as Yahoo to this and choose how the gmail server handles it. You can set it to send as the sending account and not change the address. I've used this many times for my ATT account for sending through gmail when ATT accounts were having problems.
    You can add the different accounts to each gmail account you have.

  • What is wrong to cause someone replying to an email sent from my iPhone to always bounce back to them?

    What is wrong to cause someone replying to an email sent from my iPhone to always bounce back to them?

    It isn't for advertising. It is to let recipients know the message was sent from your iPhone in the event there are mispelled words, ect. You can add whatever you want such as sent from my mobile device.
    Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Signature. Select Clear and don't enter anything, or enter whatever you want.

  • Email sent from iPad main account arrives from gmail address

    Email sent from iPad main account arrives from gmail address

    I have solved this. The main account SMTP setting was wrong so it was using the next outgoing mail server available which was Gmail. Disabling Gmail as an alternative highlighted that the main one was wrong. I fixed the main SMPTP outgoing server address and all now working. Hope this helps.

  • Different email sent from

    My company only gives me POP server settings. It asks me use my ISP or third party out going server to sent email. I setup the email SENT from Gmail but SHOWS my company's email address on Gmail web mail. Can I setup the same thing on iPhone? How?
    Hope I made it clear. I want to send Email from my iPhone through Gmail "[email protected]", but recipient will see it is from my company's mail address "[email protected]". Of course it also shows "sent through gmail", but that's not a problem for my case.
    Thank you so very much in advance!

    Rather than using authenticated accounts, have you considered whitelisting the source IP address to allow unauthenticated traffic from those devices? (I'd recommend ensuring you have Outbound port 25 restricted to those particular devices on your
    firewall before going this direction.)  You can configure an Inbound Connector in EOP to accept mail from specific IP addresses without requiring TLS/authentication.
