When I look at my sent e-mails, it shows my full name before my user name. Can the people I e-mail see this 2?

Question

Thx for all the answers. Second part of question - how do i recall the message I sent before it gets read? I don't want my full name out there when I'm e-mailing people I don't know very well.

Answer 1

*try sending one to yourself and see.

Answer 2

Yes. If you want to change this, when in Yahoo Mail:
- click Options
- click General Preferences
- enter the name you want to appear in the "from" line

Caution: If you choose a "cutesy" name, be sure your contacts know this or they may not open your mail. I'm not committing the crime of the century so I use my real name in the "from" line.

Answer 3

If it's Yahoo they see what you have entered on your options page. Go to Options, the click on General Preferences. The first space there is where you enter what you want people to see when you e-mail them. If the space is blank - it will enter your e-mail address to your receiver's inbox. If you enter your name, they don't see your e-mail address until they get to your e-mail. Hope this helps.

Answer 4

How you set up your account in say, Outlook Express, will display what you typed in. You can change how others will see your email address by going into settings, or preference and change the name. If you go to this url, you'll understand better what I'm talking about.

Answer 5

Yes, when you send mail it is sent in this format
Your Name

that's how you see your name first... in case you see someones email id instead of name then it's because his mail was sent as

[e-mail]

hope this solves your query

Answer 6

yes they can.. I would go into options in the mailbox and just type your username instead of your real name and click save and that should work.. It worked for me with yahoo and hotmail..

Answer 7

Every time you email something an email header is created by the email Server which include;
*your ip address
*your email address
*name of email server sending. routing and receiving your email
*location of server

Answer 8

yes, as you have typed in your full name during set up of your email account!

Answer 9

Yes. Maybe try to edit your profile & delete your name. then maybe they would just see your username.

Answer 10

definitely yes
