Whenever I send an email from my phone, my username is all that comes up in the From field. I really want to replace that with my name, but can't find the setting anywhere! If I change Account Name, it does nothing, it's simply a label for me to see which inbox etc I'm in.
How do I edit the Name the email says it is from?
In Account Settings you have Account Name, Your Name, Added Signature and Signature. You should be able to alert ever info in these settings.

When I go to account Settings, I've only got Account Name, Add Signature, Signature, Default Account, Always CC/BCC Myself.
So no one else is ever having this issue?
My email comes up as sent from Abbaskip ([email protected]), rather than:
sent from John Jones ([email protected])
There is no field in the email app to change my name.

If you are using Hotmail and not Gmail on your google- powered phone you're doing it wrong.

just configure gmail (on the webpage) to retrieve hotmail and be done with it.

Geez guys he asked for a Hotmail solution not Gmail.
Microsoft Hotmail now supports Activesync/Exchange. All your contacts, calendar and email flows down.
Select Corporate email setup.
Username is your full email address.
Server is. m.hotmail.com
Domain blank.
Set update to whatever you want from Push to hours.
Btw, I am a huge advocate of Enhanced Email.

Thank you! Ive been looking for this info for a while! It works flawlessly and its just awesome! The email setup wouldnt post my messages as "read" but this does! Thanks!
My skyrocket has it as a option if your email account supports it. Its not a option on my gn with the same email accounts. Anybody else run into this.

i have push on my exchange account if thats what you mean
Hmm that's odd. I can set push for peak and non-peak. Are you sure you at it up as a corp account with Exchange ActiveSync?

I mean like gmail, yahoo, me.com, all have push. I had that option on my skyrocket for these accounts. Heck i had that on my iphone with them. But that is not on my note.
Use the Gamil app for Gmail. It has push built-in and not configurable. Yahoo really doesn't have a push server. You can also setup Hotmail to use Push if you know how ro configure. As others has posted Exchange ActiveSync works.
Sounds like you made the same mistake I did. I let the app auto configure the account for me, which didn't configure push. Delete the account and remake it using manual settings with these following settings.
Email address: [email protected]
Password: Gmail password
Domain/User Name: google\[email protected]
Exchange server: m.google.com
Hope this helps.

Thanks T3, I did let it auto setup. Funny thing is I did the same thing on the skyrocket and it was an option for it. I installed the Visual Voice mail apk to have it. Wonder if I could get the email apk from a skyrocket. Dont understand why they would be different.
So I have contacts from facebook (I only add people I know). Some of these contacts have the peoples number and some don't. I can't edit a facebook contact it says to add a number. So instead I have a facebook contact and a phone contact with the exact same name but with the number. How can I merge these? I'm sure I'm not alone on this.
Open the phone number contact. Hit menu, edit, menu again, then join.

Nice, but I have 763 contacts!

I hear you..as far as I know that's the only way to do it unless your contact names are are listed exactly the same as the Facebook names.

I found out you can merge them when you sign into your Gmail account on the computer

This is what I did. It's a pain, and yeah, you have to have your contact's name be the same as their Facebook name. It's a real PITA when somebody wants to use a clever nickname and you just want their real name.
Ultimately, it's a choice between, don't sync, or sync and have a mess, or sync and merge and deal with the compromise.
I have been using the native client but I hate in notifications that it only shows one message unread not numerous ones. Also when you click it. It only takes you to inbox not to message.
Anyone know of how to fix these settings or another mail client?

I really like MailDroid free.
You can set different tones for different times of the day, and per email contact. Works great, if you want to have a really loud annoying tone from important people.
Anybody know a good Android app that does Exchange and also other email like Gmail combined?

the email app on the phone handles multiple accts of IMAP, POP, Exchange, etc.
They're separate apps natively...I'm basically looking for an equivalent to the All Inboxes function on iOS...

the email (not gmail) app will handle gmail as imap or activesync as well as any other accts. in a single or combined view.

MailDroid will do this, but its not a unified inbox, if thats what you are looking for.

You're right! Didn't know that...thanks for the info!
I use enhance email. I'm using m.google.com for gmail as exchange on 2 Accts. I really like it. Has combined inbox, fit to screen (mobile view) which was really important to me and I'm sure this app does more than my simple mind understands

I don't think this will do mutiple accounts, but by far the best Exchange mail app I've used is TOUCHDOWN by Nitro.
One of the things I LOVE about it, as opposed to using the built in Android mail app, is that any 'remote' admin features are ONLY applied to the Touchdown app.
ie: if your Exchange admin requires a password to get into your mail... if you use the standard android, you have to type it in every time you unlock your phone.... if you use Touchdown you only need to type it in when opening Touchdown.
And most importantly, last I checked, if the Admin wants they can remote wipe the DEVICE if you use the built in mail app.. with Touchdown they can only wipe the mail app's data.
I've used it for several years across multiple companies and it's pretty damn awesome. (It's not just mail btw.. it's also exchange calendars, and Tasks.. and they sync with the built in calendars and almost all widgets).
Email App issues
Whenever i delete a email it doesnt seem to actually delete them as when i go onto my PC there all there :S
is there a way to fix this issue?
also i have noticed theres no option to sync emails using email check frequency as theres no "Auto" option only manual and mins there after
i wish there was a way to get the stock android email app
does anyone have any ideas?
thanks in advance as always
Well, does the email service you're using use IMAP or POP3? If you don't know what these are, then Google it. It'll take you 30 seconds.

Check incoming settings for the account. If it's imap, then there's no option to delete from the server, if it's pop3 then you have the option to delete from server when deleting on device.
AFAIK outlook is only imap these days. But hunt for pop3 settings with Google, there may be a work around.
