Windows Forum / Windows Vista / Mail / May 2008e-mail address
hello i am new to vista forums, so i have not read all the threads, but would like to know in windows mail how to stop from showing my e-mail address when i send mail my first name ok, than it puts in complete e-mail address in the from field thanks in advance  Signaturefitz04 Go to Tools, Accounts, select that mail account, Properties. On the General tab, you can change your email address. Be aware that if you delete your 'From' email address, the recipient won't be able to reply to you. Also, many mail servers will not accept mail without a valid return address.

If you send a message to someone else, it depends on what software they are using whether they can see it or not. If you managed to find some software that actually removed the addresses it was sending to, the mail would be unlike to arrive where you sent it. Windows Mail doesn't offer the option of even hiding it. However, it does offer the option of putting the addresses you are sending to on the Bcc: line, so that the person you are sending the mail to will get a copy with only your address and his or her address included, and email software often hides the whole Bcc: line in the copy that arrives. If you want to use the Bcc: line and don't see it, start a new message, and in the new message window, click View, then All Headers. Note that some email providers refuse to handle mail the all the addresses you are sending to on the Bcc: line, so you may need to put your own address on the To: line. > thanks Gary, as u can see ,the name can be changed, but as in your > e-mail to me the e-mail address is still present, so anyone can pick up [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > thank you > fitz04 As I understand it, you want to completely suppress your email address. Removing the address from the account description won't change the message headers, and Windows Mail won't support that. Your option is basically to send using another email address. Often, anonymous remailers are used for this purpose. HTH -pk |
