I have an e-mail with several aliases. I always use my alias whenever I send an e-mail, so it would be nice to be able to specify a custom sender in the Google and IMAP account settings. Currently, when you add a Google account, Jolla doesn't even give you a way to input the sender's name, so all e-mails you send from it contain only an e-mail in the From field (not even a name).

You can set up manually until UI is fixed with libaccounts-glib-tools
pkcon install libaccounts-glib-tools
ag-tool list-accounts
ag-tool list-settings <account id>
ag-tool update-service <account id> <service name> (int|uint|bool|string):<key>=<value>
Ex:
ag-tool update-service YOURACCOUNTID email string:emailaddress=YOUREMAIL

For Finns, the use case is using @iki.fi address with some other email providers servers via imap and smtp. The ag-tool solution enables @iki.fi address usage with kapsi.fi provider for example.

Workaround for me to fix sender name (not only mail alias):
ag-tool update-service ACCOUNTID email string:fullName="Your Fullname"

Implemented in 1.0.8.19, Tahkalampi, if there's something still missing please comment here.
One thing I still miss is specifying sender's e-mail in Google account which is different from your login. I have several e-mail aliases in my Gmail account and usually send an e-mail as one of the aliases. For this only reason I've had to disable Email in Google account and create a separate IMAP account with the same credentials.
Oleksii ( 2014-07-24 15:41:15 +0200 )editI did have manually defined sender address, but now (in 1.0.8.19) I can't find the setting anywhere. I use normally my carrier's common mail (...@saunalahti.fi) but I can not change sender or replyaddress to my normal forwarder address (...@iki.fi)

Oleksii ( 2013-12-24 21:58:20 +0200 )editIn my case, email client send ALWAYS my login name (ISP telephoe number !!! ) sender is : 123456789 <123456789> .. WTF ?!?!? Client use always successfully log-in name, create fake name then edit to real is not workaround. This MUST be fixed ASAP .. useless now ..
Kaacz ( 2013-12-25 01:19:48 +0200 )editI'm quite surprised this still isn't implemented in the settings gui. Given the comments here, obviously this isn't such an edge case?!
