  1. Win10 Mail: Can't change my mailing name


    Hi,

    I need some help with changing my mailing name. So around 2 weeks ago everything was fine, I could send an email and the recipient would see my name and surname. Now whenever I send an email it displays my nickname that I use for other mailboxes. I can see how this could confuse a lot of people that I communicate with via E-mail.

    So the thing is, I am not able to change it, I've read trough some forums but everywhere its the same. Account settings > Sync options > change name. But I don't have such a field under Sync options. Here's a screenshot of how it looks like for me.

    Please help me figure this out!

    Win10 Mail - where's the address book?


    That’s now the People app. Win10 Mail: Can't change my mailing name :)
    If you know the contact's name or email address & they’re listed in the People app, you can start typing the first few letters of their name or email address and Mail for Windows 10 will suggest matching contacts.

  3. While sending mail, does not show my name, instead shows my email address

    I would suggest you to follow the steps to change the Account display in Mail app:

    1. Open Mail app

    2. Select “settings”.

    3. Under settings select “Manage Account”.

    4. Click on the Account name

    5. Change the Account name

    If still not working, try the steps below:

    • In the Mail app, open Settings (the gear icon).
    • Click 'Manage Accounts'
    • Select the account you want to change the outgoing display name for
    • Click 'options for syncing email, contacts, and calendar'
    • in the account sync settings, there should be a 'Your name' text field that is used as the display name for outgoing emails.
