change name of mail account

in Mail I have three accounts one of which is named "google". I would like to change that name--without affecting any app behavior--to the actual email name I have, Nick...@gmail.com.


Can I do that? any reason not to?


thanks

Open Mail Settings > Accounts, select the account from the list.

On the Account Information, change the description to whatever you want.

any reason not to?

Your entire email address will be rather large for the account header in the mailbox list.
