For example, if your email address is [email protected], you could change the email address name to "Kate Wahl at home."

When you send an email message from your BlackBerry device, your email account name appears in the Send Using field at the top of the
email message. Your email account name also appears on the Home screen of your BlackBerry device.

Change an email address name

1.

On the BlackBerry® Mail web site, in the left pane, click Email Account.

2. Click the Edit icon beside your BlackBerry email address.
3. In the Email account name field, type an email address name.
4. Click Save.

About display names

On the BlackBerry® Mail web site, the Your name field, or display name, displays the name that appears in the From field of email messages
that you send from your BlackBerry device. The display name identifies you as the sender of an email message in a friendly, informal way
and is sometimes referred to as a common name or friendly name. You can specify a display name for your BlackBerry email address. For
example, if your email address is [email protected], you could specify "Kate W." as your display name.

Specify a display name

1.

On the BlackBerry® Mail web site, in the left pane, click Email Account.

2. Click the Edit icon beside your BlackBerry email address.
3. In the Your name field, type a display name.
4. Click Save.

To delete the display name, do not set the Your name field. Instead of a display name, your email address appears in the From field of
email messages that you send.
