      Is there a way to set a username for the outgoing app emails using the sendmail addon? I am referring to what the recipient sees in their mailbox as the user name attached to the app email.
      using the builtin SMTP server.

        @saikarthik I'm not sure exactly what you're asking, but you can change the Mail FROM address of app in MyApps -> Click on Configure cog for the Apps you want to change -> Email

        See https://docs.cloudron.io/apps/#mail-from-address

        I use Cloudron with Gandi & Hetzner

          @jdaviescoates I understand this. For example here if you set your email as test@example.com and then send yourself an email. In your inbox page it would display test. Im wondering how we can change it so it can display a name instead. refer link below:

            @saikarthik the name is set by the app. All apps have a config option to set it.

                @jdaviescoates depends on the app. Some have it in the config file and some in the email settings.

                  @girish I dont see this option in the email settings of the app. Where exactly is this config file? For example, a NodeJS app?

                    What I mean is that the email name is set by the app and it's not set by Cloudron. This means that one has to look into the app to figure where and how the name is set. For example, if this is a custom email app then it's probably set somewhere in it's code to send email. In NodeJS, if you use the nodemailer module, you would set it in the envelope from - https://nodemailer.com/smtp/envelope/

                      @saikarthik I'm not sure if I missed it or not, but based on @girish 's reply, it may be helpful if you're still struggling to provide us with the app you're needing to set an email name on, and the community here can try to help a bit on that.

                        Yup. I went with setting it at the app level (nodemailer method). I was just curious if this was in any way masked at the cloudron platform side. Thanks for the clarification @girish
