I wish to send e-mails without individuals or groups having my real full name. I am going mad trying to determine how to do this. Every e-mail I send has my name on it.

Why would you want to hide your identity? I am sure there is some trick that a high-level hacker could show you, but the truth is that emails can almost always be tracked to their origin. So, again, the question is; what do you have to hide?

You can get yourself an email account with an online company such as Yahoo! or Hotmail where you decide what name you wish to have appear. As far as I'm aware, you can have as many (within reason) email accounts with either of these companies as you like.
Just enter www.yahoo.com or www.hotmail.com (or .co.uk if you wish) and click on New Account.
As others have already stated, however, there are ways that you can be tracked down i.e. your IP address, which will give your ISP address, who must, by law, keep track of users.

Change your real name when signing for that email account. You can put alias on it rather than place your name since you dont want to reveal your identity.
Its more on the email settings account.

Create a new hotmail account. Go to www.hotmail.com, create a new account under a blank/generic user or just make up a name!
Hotmail doesn't require you to write your authentic name for an account.
