This is specific to the HD2, but for some reason when ever I send messages from my HD2 on WP7 the name that shows up is just my initials. I might have filled something out quickly when setting it up to make do this, but I don't know where to fix it. My Gmail account has my correct name associated with it and so does my Windows Live account. Does anyone know how to change the name that people see as your name when you send them an email?

Does anyone know how to rename a mail account that has already been created? I can't find anywhere I can change the display name of the mail account (re-editing the settings has the name greyed out)...
I don't think it's possible...
I assumed there might not be a function for it... but maybe if someone knew where these were stored in the registry I could change it there...?
There isn't under WM5. Please read my article on just this q: http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=600&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1
Hi all,
Love the X1 but have a few niggles which bother me on a daily basis:
1. Email Signature
When ever I have reset the phone or lost power for some reason, my signature reverts to the "sent from my x1" signature. Have to change it back each time. Oddly, it only happens to the signature on my Exchange email, the Gmail one I use is not affected. It stays as what I set it as.
2. Reply All
I noticed this one on my crappy Omnia (had 3 in a row, all faulty). Must be a WM6.1 thing... When I am on the To part of the email, I select Reply All and it decides to send me my reply. How stupid!
Has anyone else seen these issues please?
Open the file explorer of your choice. Go to \Windows\Autostart\ or \Windows\Startup\ (depending on your ROM) and delete the file SignatureReplicator.exe, voila, you can now set your own exchange e-mail signature.
Thanks for that!! Brilliant answer.
I assume the Reply all issue just bothers all WM6.1 users and I have to live with it?

Regarding the reply all issues, check out the link below:

Basically it is saying that Messaging does not really know who you are, so to work around that issue, you have to enter your email address for that account.
There are instructions shown in the link.
Hope it helps.
This is really nice to have this stupid little problem fixed, thanks!
Odd - if you set up a new account (I have a gmx account) you don't get these issues... I think it only applies to the default outlook inbox account. My GMX account is a seperate inbox........

Guys,
do you know where to find the html file for a new mail composer in WM6.1...?
Hi!
I love my phone. One issue id that I know how to view contacts by group, but I cant figure out hpw to view contacts by organization. Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated. Is there some how to convert the organization fields into the group field?
Thanks-
Robert
Please help! I am using the dudes roger 0.5 which kicks ass. I need to be able to sort m contacts by organization.. I have no exchange server and dont know anything about exchange. I used to use activesynch whith my old artemis.
PLease?
I dont know if I was clear,
I mean when you enter a contact, and you enter their name , number, ertc... you can also enter the name of their organization. I am not sure if this is the defauls set up since I synched my outlook contacts with gmail to get them into my phone... but the issue is I want to be able to see my contacts by the organization they belong too... It is very difficult to find people by just searching for their name as I cant remember everyones name, but I do know the company they are saved under. This seems like such an important basic figure. Am I missing something obvious?
Android 2.2 on HTC EVO
I have the same issue. I use Outlook 2007 on my desktop computer an use HTC sync to sync with my EVO. On my desktop Outlook all my contacts are filed by Company. When they came in on the EVO they are filed by contact name. What a joke for a business phone. Android calls the company field Organization. I also can't remember individual names of people at every company contact. There should be a setting to file by Name, Organization, etc.
If there is no Android setting than even an APP would solve the problem. If I can't get a solution the phones going back and I will have to try an iPhone. Had Windows mobile 6.5 with no outlook issues.
Thanks, Barry
I was forwarding an email the other day when somehow or other I managed to find an option to choose the account that the email was sent from - basically received on outlook email and the email app asked me if I wanted to forward from outlook, gmail or hotmail.
I'd like this option which I used to have on the iphone and found very useful, but can't seem to find it again.
Can anyone help please?
Really sorry to bump this but I'd appreciate if anyone could offer some ideas?
I came across what I think you mean only yesterday, but couldn't find this thread to tell you! Glad you bumped it.
Basically, you can't forward an email that received with account A by using account B.
What I found though, is that if you click an email address in an email, it asks which account you want to use, treating the link as a regular email link, rather than forcing you to use the account you're reading the email with.
I hope that explains it, but you definitely can't forward using a different account, and personally I think that makes sense.
John,
Thanks very much that was exactly it. The probem is that you can't do that with the senders email address, only links in the email text.
can see your point, but the option came in handy previously on occasions where I received an email at work with contents that you definitely wouldn't want to forward from that account! So I would just hit the dropdown and send from gmail instead.
In terms of enterprise management though I doubt our IT staff realised I could do it.
Thank you for your help, I appreciate it.

No worries mate - glad to help.
Just a suggestion, but could you not just forward the email to the account that you do want to forward from? Then you simply remove the header from the last email so it looks like it was never sent from that account.
I know it's long-winded, but it will achieve the desired effect.
The thought behind it was more that I wasn't forwarding emails from my work account at all, which I'd still have be doing by sending it to myself.
As you can imagine, no matter how funny rude or downright disgusting a received email is, sending it from a work address is a no-no!
Again, cheers for your help. My work round now is saving attachments to storage and then forwarding them from my own address - just as long winded.
And there's always cut and paste.
Dan.
hi,
i have no solution for the build in email. but if you not scared to try an 3rd party program that is not for free, you can give flexmail a try.
i just made a test, i forward a mail that arrived on account 'a'/at provider 'a' to an account 'c'/at provider 'c', using account 'b'/at provider 'b' as sender address. it works perfectly.
there is a trail version of the programm so you can take a look yourself bevore buying.

Hi,
I have have been a lurker here for a while as I have usually found all the info required by search. However I have a really odd problem on my HD2 whic I can not find the answer to?!
When I send images by mail my phone is adding on a email contact on every send. i only became aware as I received a reply recently. As it goes this person has received every image I have sent
My HD2 is a UK T-mobile handset with the latest T-Mobile ROM and a few regestry tweeks.
I am baffled and any help appreciated
I think I now know why this is happening... The phone seems to recognise the automatically added @ symbol when you go to send pictures via the album.
Any knowledge of how to stop this appearing? or removing the auto association?
Are you saying that you can send an email to "@" and it works?
you haven't got a contact saved as @ have you lol,
im quite confused by this

Yes, but for some reason when I am in the album and choose to send pictures by email the "@" is there by default, so I have been adding emails and the @ remains, I thought nothing of it, but now see it is associated to a contact
So I will have to manually remove this every time I send an image which is quite annoying.

Well I can't send emails to the address "@", so I suggest checking your contacts to see if there's one with that name, as mentioned above by Demon_man.
That's the only thing I can think of that would do that.
Just did a search in contacts and nothing comes up. However in email (via outlook) I just entered @ and it came up with an email address - so it seems this is an auto complete specific to my handset.
Is there a auto complete list I can access in the device memory? I searched in windows and could not find anything.
I just need to figure out how to delete the association, otherwise I am going to remove all contact details for this person and see if this resolves the issue.
OK, so I deleted the contact and tried it. Result no association with "@"
however upon re-entering the info it has returned. The email address is set up as [email protected] so I think because there is an [email protected] it recognised the @ on its own.
I would appreciate if anyone can add a dummy email with [email protected] and see if the HD2 picks up on this and feedback
Cheers!

I just tried it - created a contact with the email [email protected] and sent an image from the album to @ and it sent it to the email address I entered. It would appear that the _ is causing it to recognise the @ symbol in the email address. If you go to a normal email and put @ as the email address, when you move to the subject or body, it "fixes" the email address for you (try it - you'll see what I mean).
So I guess email addresses ending with an underscore are out!

Thank you for testing it was driving me mad!
Yes I know about the normal email that was not a problem as it does not have the @ there by default. Only when you send images from the album
I don't understand why HTC enter an @ when you try to send an image from the album as it does not really help as you have to scroll past it to complete the address!
Thanks again
