How to set a From name in Ecenica Webmail

In this article we show you how you can set a From name in Ecenica. By default, all your emails you send from Ecenica webmail will use your email address as the ‘from’ name. So your recipients will see something similar to john@example.com when you send an email and they’ve not already got you saved in their address/contacts.

Setting your own from name or display name in Ecenica webmail tags your emails so when you send an email your recipients will see what you’ve chosen as your ‘from’ name, for example, ‘John Smith’, instead of your email address. It looks friendlier, more professional and easier to read.
