Change the Display Name in Roundcube Webmail

The Display Name is the name recipients see when they receive emails from your mailbox. For example, instead of showing only [email protected], your emails can show as Ahmed Ali [email protected].

Steps to Change the Display Name

1. Log in to Roundcube Webmail.
2. From the left menu, click Settings.
3. Click Identities.
4. Select your email identity from the list.
5. In the Display Name field, enter the name you want recipients to see. Example: Ahmed Ali
6. Click Save.

Important Notes

• This change affects new emails you send after saving the update.
• It does not change the email address itself.
• It does not update emails that were already sent.
• If you use the same email account on another mail app, such as Outlook, Apple Mail, or a mobile mail app, you may also need to update the display name inside that app.

Troubleshooting

If recipients still see the old name:

• Make sure you clicked Save after updating the identity.
• Send a new test email after making the change.
• Check whether you are sending from another identity inside Roundcube.
• If you use an external mail app, update the display name there as well.
