Help!! Changing Display Name on Outgoing Email Not Working

Post by d2wp »

Hi guys.. my name on my outgoing email is not displaying my name at all. I tried changing it on account settings > Managing identities, general settings and in config.

I even tried renaming my name in webmail (gmail). None of these approaches work. My other accounts show my display name fine.

In my mail compose window, the 'from' field says 'name <name@email.com>'. Yet when recipients receive my email they dont see my name, they only see my email address as my name. How do I fix this??

(Since you're not getting results here, you might ask in the Thunderbird forums - even though you maybe shouldn't, cause it could be the same or similar fix?
Oh, & you are asking about SeaMonkey & not TB?)
Fire 750, bring back 250.
