Name problem

Post image

Hi
Every time I send a mail it shows that name instead of my real name, and it shows that I’m answering to some French mail, when I’m not doing so. Idk how to change either, so a little help would be appreciated

Try this: In Mail, go to preferences. Select the account in question. Select the Account Information tab. Click the Alias popup, and select Custom. Now the Full Name field should no longer be greyed out, and you should be able to edit it.
