Outgoing Name

[fenderman]

When i send a email in either of my accounts my name shows to sender as John dill i want it to show as John Dill. I tried renaming account and even deleting accounts and adding account back with name John Dill but it still shows as John dill.This is not signature i know how to add one of them this is my default name that shows when i send a email. Any suggestions?

Yes Hotmail for years has been rewriting the From header (which has the sender's email and name).

Right now they're migrating everyone to "new servers" and I believe they stopped doing this silliness (which also makes identities / aliases finally work with Hotmail "parent" accounts).

So there are two ways to fix this:

- Fix "your name" in Hotmail settings on their web site

- Or request an more timely migration / update to those new servers (I believe there is supposed to be a button / panel / prompt for this, again on Hotmail web site).

PS - I'm calling Outlook.com "Hotmail", but that's what it is, historically...

This is strange. Can you please:

- Send me a test message to kmansoft / gmail so I can check what it looks like on the receiving side?

- Check if you've maybe got an "identity" in this account, with the different spelling of your name? To do that, please long press the account -> identities, are there any?
