How to change your full name in SOGo

When you send an email from SOGo, by default, the sender appears as the email address. To have your messages identified with your name, company, or any other information, you can change the full name that appears in outgoing emails.

In this guide, you will learn step by step how to modify the full name of your SOGo account. If you don’t yet know how to access your SOGo account, first check the guide: How to access and manage email accounts from SOGo

Modify the full name
  1. Once the identity is expanded, you will see a form with the account fields. In the Full Name field, simply delete the text and enter the name you want to appear when sending emails (for example, your first and last name or your company name).


  1. Note: Just below the full name field is the Signature box. If you want to add text or images at the end of your emails, you can do it there. For more details, see the guide: How to create the signature in SOGo
  2. Once finished, click OK (lower-right corner) to close the edit window.
Save global changes
  1. After clicking OK, you will return to the list of IMAP accounts. Click the green SAVE CHANGES button (upper-right corner) to apply the name change.
