I downloaded and configured the latest Outlook android app with the cool metro interface. however I noticed that when I send emails my name is not dispalyed as sender but rather I only see my email address

In otehr words the recipients would see

From: ******@hotmail.com

Instead of

From: My Name

This doesnt happen when I send emails from the web interface or the windows 8 app, only withy the Android app. As much as I have looked I cant find where it is you set the sender's name

Moved from: [ Outlook.com / My Account and information / Edit my information ]

Outlook | Web | Outlook.com | Settings

Hi Everyone,

As some of you already know, there have been a recent update to the application which include "Recipients can see the sender name instead of just an email address in mail sent from the app".

For others who have not yet updated the Outlook.com app on your mobile devices, kindly do so.

If you want to leave any feedback for the Outlook.com application, you can by going through this link:

Let me know if you have other questions.

Thanks!

    Everyone I know (on different phones) is having the same issue. Why is MS sending private messages and asking for logs ?. Clearly the app has a bug and MS should admit that and release a fix.

    How difficult is to add an option to set sender's name ?.

    it would appear all that is happening is customers are sending in their logs - yet nothing is getting resolved on this app ...

    when can we expect a fix to this issue ... it is closely approaching a month now

    thanks, Jason
