I used theme “Twenty Twenty Five” and activated only Flamingo and Contact Form 7 (Yoast SEO was deactivated). The mail I received still did not list the correct “Sender Name” 🙁 * I also tried with Flamingo deactivated, same result. I checked the received e- mails both in Gmail and in Thunderbird, no Sender Name was listed. * Is there maybe something wrong in the way I write the configuration? I have looked through my e-mail history to see at what point Sender Names no longer get added( I test the from from time to time). On 10/06/2025 the sender name was listed, as of 01/07/2025 it no longer was. I do not remember changing the configuration in that time period, so maybe the plugin evolved? - This reply was modified 3 months ago by [driesquickly](https://wordpress.org/support/users/driesquickly/).

Sorry for the confusion. Below is the actual, unedited text with the correct field. Mails do get sent, so I’m pretty sure the From field is valid. The only thing that doesn’t work is the Sender Name which should be the text at the front. * **From: **Praktijk Accolade: [Teamkeuze_checkbox] <[Teamkeuze_checkbox]@praktijkaccolade. be> * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Contact Form 7] Sender Name not displaying (in Gmail)](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sender-name-not-displaying-2/) * Thread Starter [driesquickly](https://wordpress.org/support/users/driesquickly/) * (@driesquickly) * [3 months, 1 week ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sender-name-not-displaying-2/#post-18838635) * Hello, these are the settings in the E-mail (2) template, slightly changed for anonimity. * **To:** [Email] * **From: **MyCompany: [Team-picker] <[Teampicker]@mycompany.be> * [Team-picker] is a mailtag that comes from the contact form.
