= When I use webmail, my email messages are sent from a strange email address =

When you send a message using webmail/Horde, your from address may look strange - for example, it might read something like: {{{username@malcolm.mayfirst.org}}} or {{{username@albizu.mayfirst.org}}}.

That's because you have not set your from address in your personal settings.

With the Horde/IMP webmail program, you can control how your email messages are sent by setting up your Default Identity:

 * Click Options
 * Click Personal Information
 * By default you will see the settings for your "Default identity."
 * Enter any changes you would like (most importantly your from address)
 * Optionally, you can also make new identities that will allow you to send mail from different email accounts. If you add more than one identity you'll get a drop-down every time you send me that will give you the option to choose from the identities you have created.

With Roundcube, instructions are slightly different:

 * Click Settings (gear icon) in top right hand corner
 * Under the Settings column, click Identities
 * Click on the identity that is there and your info will show up on the right hand side
 * Edit your info appropriately, especially the Email address.
 * Click Save.
