Currently there is not way to customize and set or change the From Name of the e-mail.

Would be nice to have such feature.

    Hi @No Sssweat,

    I'm kind of taking over parts of this module and I have refactored a lot of code to comply with coding standard, pass PHPStan tests and much more. Started with semantic versioning as well, so that the next stable release will be 4.0.0

    Looking at your feature request I wonder if this is still a need. If so, the new setting needed to be added to the schema and default settings file as well. I'd prefer to deal with that in a MR instead of patches then. What do you think?

    Hi @jurgenhaas,

    needed to be added to the schema and default settings file as well

    Noted.

    Looking at your feature request I wonder if this is still a need.

    I think it is.

    My issue was ie: email: order@mydomain.com, but since there was no "from name", it would grab the domain part from the mail.

    So in my Gmail inbox, it would show as, mydomain Title of the email

    But I need to show instead as, My Domain Bar & Grill Title of the email

    I'd be down to create a MR for 4.0.0, if you like the idea also.

    As discussed 📌 Sending a test e-mail results in error. Active

    The only downside: they don't seem to be supporting the from name or the reply to name. If we still want to have that, we would have to raise an issue upstream in the library which is maintained at https://github.com/ElasticEmail/elasticemail-php

    I'll circle back to this in the future.
