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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1. Log in to your WPX account<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Begin by logging into your WPX account. You can do this by visiting the WPX login page<\/a>.\u200b<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2. Go to Control Panel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Once logged in:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Locate your hosting plan in the WPX client area.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Click the Control Panel<\/strong> button next to the plan you wish to manage.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    If you have more than five hosting plans of the same type (WordPress, Agency or WooCommerce), not all may appear on the homepage. Use the WordPress Hosting<\/strong>, Agency Hosting<\/strong> or WooCommerce Hosting<\/strong> tab in the left-hand menu to find your service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n

    Step 3. Go to the Emails menu<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Within the Control Panel:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Select the Emails <\/strong>section.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Click on the Webmail Client<\/strong> button to open Webmail.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      \"\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      You will be redirected to your Webmail login page. To log in use your email username and password.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \"\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

      Step 4. Change the Display Name<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      In the Webmail: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. Select Settings<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. Then go to Identities<\/strong>. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. Click on the Create <\/strong>button to add your Display Name. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
        \"\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

        In the Settings<\/strong>, add your Display Name and Email Address. Then click Save <\/strong>to apply the changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        In this example, the actual email address is wpxknowledge@wpx.net;<\/strong> however, we want it to be displayed as wpxeducation@wpx.net<\/strong>, so we placed it next to the email field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \"\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

        Check the new Display Name with a test email<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        To preview your new Display name:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \"\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

        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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        That’s it! You have changed the Display Name of your email address. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
