Exchange Using EWS Entourage found name in the sent field is now email address
by default rather than Office User name how can I change the sent by name to
my name not my email address

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.

For details see This bug is really a new feature in SP1"

If this is an Exchange account then you have no control over the display
of your name. Your server administrator controls that.

Does this affect all of your recipients or just a set of recipients?
What mail applications are they using?
