Configuring my email

[David_Osunkwo]

Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) Processor: Intel Email Client: Exchange In Entourage, how when I send out emails, the recipients show in their "From" column my full email address, (e-mail address removed); how do I change it so that they can see only my first and last name, John Doe?

Hi David,

I don't think there is any way to change that behaviour in Entourage; sorry!

Hi, Michael:

Thanks for the response; that is very frustrating. It's a surprise to me that problem has not been an issue for most users.

What version of Exchange you are on?

Beginning with Entourage 2008 SP1 (12.1.0), the display name for a person
(the name that appears next to the E-mail address) will be pulled from
contact records in either the local Address Book or the Exchange Contacts
list depending on the default account. If the default account is a POP or
IMAP account then Entourage will match names from the local Address Book and
if the default account is an Exchange account then Entourage will match
names from the Exchange Contacts list. If the sender is not in your own
contacts then Entourage will display the name as it was received from the
sender.

This will also apply to the "Me" contact record, which is the record for the
Entourage user himself and is always in the local Address Book.
