Hello DeZZA700,


We see that you need help with email.


To confirm, where are you seeing the name? For example, is it in the from, to, or CC fields? Is it in the body of the email itself? Is this happening with iCloud or another email service provider?


We ask because want to provide you with the best information and get you headed in the right direction.


Cheers!
