When I send and receive emails from my work address chris @@@@@.com the account name that appears when you mouse over my email is not my Name but the words "Edible Garden Tour" about 6 years ago I helped a non-profit named Edible Garden Tour but never with this email address. How can I change the name that I and all my clients see back to my name. I have scoured every available field I can think of to make sure Edible Garden Tour does not show up.

If you disagree to what CWD has posted her...D-Red,<br /><br />If you disagree to what CWD has posted here, then what is your take on it? Please post yours.<br /><br />WRT " I recently had this happen when I sent an e-mail from my Gmail account to a Hotmail user. The person with the Hotmail account replied and asked about the picture I had attached - well, I didn't attach a picture!" - corresponds exactly to what I find written under the first section. "Gmail doesn't "send" any photo out with your messages. The photo people see when they receive your message is the photo they have stored for you in their own contact list. If your recipients use any Microsoft email service, or a third party app for syncing social networks, they have probably synced their own contact lists with Facebook. "<br /><br />WRT "He then described my Facebook profile picture in detail. He obviously has not "synced his contacts list with Facebook" because he does not have a Facebook account! " - He doesn't require to use a facebook account. I do not have a Facebook account and I use a Hotmail account and whenever I open mails from other contacts who does, their facebook profile picture is displayed.<br /><br />WRT ""I certainly don´t want my FB profile picture to appear in the business emails I send from Gmail to my work related contacts." I'm not stupid enough to have an inappropriate Facebook profile picture, but I also don't want to send work-related e-mails along with a picture of me kissing my boyfriend on the cheek. Really frustrating." - I agree! And your anger should be directed towards Facebook and Hotmail for cooking up this fiasco instead of directing it towards CWD who is most certainly not at fault. From what I have learnt, there are two things you can do:<br />1. Change your profile picture.<br />2. Change the account used with that Facebook profile.<br /><br />Somnathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17571117366540097962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3306126611145732416.post-5504105139993419222013-06-11T04:21:04.731+01:002013-06-11T04:21:04.731+01:00I disagree with the information re: the first ques...I disagree with the information re: the first question listed (regarding Facebook pictures showing up in sent messages). I recently had this happen when I sent an e-mail from my Gmail account to a Hotmail user. The person with the Hotmail account replied and asked about the picture I had attached - well, I didn't attach a picture! So I asked for more details. He said, "Well the picture disappears when I go to reply to you so this is from memory. It also appears on the right side of my screen with something about Facebook. I'm not on Facebook, but it appears you might be." He then described my Facebook profile picture in detail. He obviously has not "synced his contacts list with Facebook" because he does not have a Facebook account! I agree with the person who commented, "I certainly don´t want my FB profile picture to appear in the business emails I send from Gmail to my work related contacts." I'm not stupid enough to have an inappropriate Facebook profile picture, but I also don't want to send work-related e-mails along with a picture of me kissing my boyfriend on the cheek. Really frustrating.<br /><br />Also, this is an extraordinarily unhelpful suggestion: "The best you can do is go into your Facebook account and amend your privacy settings - you cannot opt out of the 'look-up' service completely, but you can restrict who is allowed to do look-ups to your Friends only." I *want* people to be able to look me up on Facebook - I've had unknown family members and long-lost friends find me that way. That's not a solution at all! I am not sure the person who wrote about this issue truly understands what is going on.D-Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12115564788268491264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3306126611145732416.post-24191608081530214782013-05-13T16:44:54.682+01:002013-05-13T16:44:54.682+01:00Agreed, F.

Especially as it seems that since I wrote this article, the Contact sync between all Microsoft webmail accounts and Facebook is now on by default, and the Facebook profile is being treated as some kind of master. Given that every Facebook profile is suspect because of no email verification, that is a crass move which is going to cause massive problems. <br /><br />There are remedies - you can moderate the scope of the Facebook look-up as described above (although it's scandalous that you can't opt right out!), and you can - if you can find the setting - turn it off in the Microsoft account.

The other day I sent an email from my Gmail account to my Hotmail account. When I opened it in Hotmail (now Outlook.com) I saw that my Facebook profile picture was on the email. I never syncronized my Hotmail, Gmail or Facebook accounts and I certainly don´t want my FB profile picture to appear in the business emails I send from Gmail to my work related contacts. This is a HUGE breach of privacy and I´m considering shutting down my Facebook account (I hardly open it anymore) and closing down my Hotmail (now crappy Outlook.com) account. I´m going to set the account to forward the received mail to my Gmail account and start contacting everybody from that address alone.Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05453750745648142759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3306126611145732416.post-53549847161183491222013-05-12T08:41:26.106+01:002013-05-12T08:41:26.106+01:00See the second scenario above.
