How can I change my sender name in iCloud email?

Question

I want to correct how my 'sender' name appears when I write mail with my iCloud account.

For some reason, iCloud shows my first name in all caps & I can't edit it.

Answer 1

iCloud is linked directly to your Apple account. You should be able to edit the details on your Apple ID here: https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/

Answer 2

I had the same problem and changed my Apple ID to show regular text, not all caps, using the link provided in the first answer. However, it didn't carry over to my outgoing email when I tried sending a test email from icloud.com a few minutes later.

I found success using a different method:

• I logged into my account on www.icloud.com, clicked on the "gear" symbol in the top right corner of the page, selected Preferences > Accounts and changed my Full Name from ALL CAPS to Regular.
• I also made the change on the Apple Mail program where I collect my iCloud email: Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Full Name (edit it to your desired style).

You may have to change it on your iphone (if you use one) as well. Go to Settings, then Mail, contacts and Calendars, then iCloud, then Account, the Advanced (at the way bottom) - there you can change the name that goes out from the iphone.
