Hello, and please forgive if this is an off off topic, but I post here as a last resort. The problem:

I opened a gmail account to be able to occasionally email to a certain place without much identification, rather than from my usual Outlook Express...but today I needed to send such an email and I discovered that my full name appears by the "FROM:" field. I immediately tried to change that and couldn't. I tried the Google forum, even though it's such a jungle, but in addition I found that most people there were using the filthiest language I had seen in my long life!!! And SO unnecessary!!!

I got disgusted and quit. But someone gave me a link to a direct contact to Google tech. I clicked on it...and the so called direct contact was the longest ever list of FAQs! I did search through THIS jungle too...to no avail.

If anyone happens to also have a gmail account and know how I can get rid of my full name up in front, I'd be most grateful! I figure if there's no way, I won't need to keep that account.

Thanks ever SO much! :) Adela

I think it uses your account info. Try editing your personal info.

Oh thank you noppid, how stupid of me. I was so enraged with opening and reading so many links in their "jungle" that I didnt' think of going right to my account, though I thought I had, but... :D

Thanks again!!! Adela
