emails not showing full name of sender?

Post by irfan » Wed Mar 09, 2011 12:14 pm

I just noticed this... when my front desk sends an email it just shows up in the inbox as the first portion of the email address, eg if the smtp email address we set up for outgoing was "irfan@polarisdentalcare.com" and my gmail settings are set to show my full name Irfan Khan, then the recipients inbox would get an email from "irfan", not "Irfan Khan". This looks pretty unprofessional. Emails sent thru gmail show up as from "Irfan Khan" like they should, but it seems that with OD the First and Last name of the sender arent used, and dont seem to be user configurable (since I think thats supposed to added in the email client, not on the smtp server, anyways). I cant find anywhere to change this.
