Mail not showing "send mail as" name for gmail accounts

I use two gmail accounts and each has a "send mail as" name specified, meaning when I send an e-mail, the recipient will see the sender as being the name I specified, rather than just my e-mail address.

When I send mail from gmail, this works, but when I send mail from gmail via Mail it always just shows the e-mail address, not the name.

On the other hand, all hotmail accounts I use show the name fine.

I checked in manage accounts->change mailbox sync settings and both accounts have "send your messages using this name" specified correctly, but the name still doesn't show.

Anyone know how to fix this?

 

using a Gmail email account, How to have the Send name on the account be an alias name, and not the account name?

Does anyone know a way, when using a Gmail email account, to have the Send name on the account be your alias name, and not the account name?



using Win ph 7 and HTC HD 7, both of which i like so far, but for privacy reasons, dont want my account name showing to people generally on sent emails or replies...any suggestions? Is this restriction just for Gmail on Windows Phone?

 

Contact names not displaying when sending emails

When I save a contact name, it doesn't display when I send an email to them. Rather, it just displays their email address as the "Name".

Other contacts seem to work, but I have one or two that seem to persist in not showing up when I send emails to them.

But, when I look at my contact list, the real name of the person is displayed - so it is obviously saved, but doesn't display when I send emails. Why?

And, how do I solve this?
