How do you change what appears in the FROM field in Outlook? Example:

I send an email. It appears on the other end in the receiving user's email
as:

FROM: Jane Doe ((E-Mail Removed))

I would like it to just appear as:

FROM: Jane Doe

We have a business email account as well as personal email accounts, and no
matter what account I compose a message from, it looks like the email is
coming from our business account.

Any ideas, suggestions to fix this would be hugely appreciated.

So, how would people be able to reply to that if it doesn't have an SMTP
address attached to it? The 'From' field on internet email has a set
structure, and the SMTP address is part of that structure. In fact, the
SMTP address is required, while the friendly name is not, so you'd have an
easier time making it only appear as FROM: ((E-Mail Removed)).

Not only that, but, what the recipients mail client decides to display is
completely up to them.

That sounds like a completely different problem.

How are you composing the account to be from the personal account vs. the
business account?

f.h.

Using the properties of each account enables you to amend both the name and
email address

This has already been answered in your yesterday's post.

Thanks for your response. I see what you mean about not defining the problem
correctly, as ultimately I just want the email I send from each account to
reflect the user name and email address assigned to that account (I verified
the profile each is set up with under Tools). In answer to your question
about how I am sending emails from different accounts, I select the account
to send the email from before I hit send. Each account has its own address
and I have modified the name on each to reflect what it should read. That's
why it's so baffling to me that when I send something from (E-Mail Removed)
that it still appears in the recipient's inbox as (E-Mail Removed). I don't
know if this is helpful to include or not, but my business email is hosted
under my own domain name through Go Daddy, and my personal accounts are on
Cox Communications.

What version of Outlook?

When you change the Account to be sent from, does the new message window
indicate that it will be sent from the other account?
