Gmail Contacts


Question Posted Saturday May 22 2010, 12:42 pm

I use Gmail. My problem is that in my inbox, the names on the "threads" I have are not always the names I have assigned to the contacts.

For example, let's say I have a friend whose email address is sexychick01144@yahoo.com, and her name is Sarah Perkins. The thread title is "me, sexychick01144 (2)," not "me, Sarah Perkins (2)." I have this hypothetical girl added in my contacts with that name.

How do I fix this so her NAME shows up, not her email address username?

Actually I think the reason it's doing that is because your contacts have not put in their name with their email. That's what shows up when they send you an email. It's not your preference, it's theirs. I know it stinks, but I really don't think you can do anything about it...I'm sorry :/
