Hi

I'm using Lotus Notes 7 as a personal POP e-mail client at home as I am used to using it at my place of work and find it a very good email tool but when I send mail, the recipient receives it as mail from 'firstname.surname@btinternet.com' (i.e. as my email address)

My question is, how can I change the 'from' name to just my name ie 'mail from firstname secondname or, as other clients, do 'firstname secondname<firstname.secondname@btinternet.com>

Thanks for any advice in advance

Hi

I take it that no-one can help me here then ?
To clarify, I have set Notes up as a simple POP home mail client and can sent/receive mail OK but it's rather frustrating for the recipient to have my e-mail id in the 'from' field instead of my 'name'. I have looked at the hierarchal name setup which is 'firstname secondname/firstname secondname' and I cannot alter that to 'firstname secondname' but I don't even know if that has anything to do with it

Thanks again
