In this article, we will cover one of the WPX Webmail features that will allow you to change the initial display name of your email address.
If you have connected your WPX mailbox to a third-party mail client, such as Microsoft Outlook or Thunderbird, and are sending emails through it, you must update your Display name in that mail client instead.
Step 1. Log in to your WPX account
Begin by logging into your WPX account. You can do this by visiting the WPX login page.
Step 2. Go to Control Panel
Once logged in:
- Locate your hosting plan in the WPX client area.
- Click the Control Panel button next to the plan you wish to manage.
If you have more than five hosting plans of the same type (WordPress or WooCommerce), not all may appear on the homepage. Use the WordPress Hosting or WooCommerce Hosting tab in the left-hand menu to find your service.
Step 3. Go to the Emails menu
Within the Control Panel:
- Select the Emails section.
- Click on the Webmail Client button to open Webmail.
You will be redirected to your Webmail login page. To log in use your email username and password.
Step 4. Change the Display Name
In the Webmail:
- Select Settings.
- Then go to Identities.
- Click on the Create button to add your Display Name.
In the Settings, add your Display Name and Email Address. Then click Save to apply the changes.
In this example, the actual email address is wpxknowledge@wpx.net; however, we want it to be displayed as wpxeducation@wpx.net, so we placed it next to the email field.
Check the new Display Name with a test email
To preview your new Display name:
After you select the desired Display Name, write a test email and send it to your other email to confirm that everything is working and is displayed correctly.
That’s it! You have changed the Display Name of your email address.
