Perhaps not the right forum.
My wife has a name the family call her plus her given name. Is there a
way she can use both names under the same E-Mail address ?

Bill.

Depending on the rules of the IPS providing the e-mail service, there
are several ways she could do it.

Such as:






As you can see I use the Underscore character "_" in my e-mail address.
The only problem I have with it is it some times get lost when the
e-mail address is underlined.

Depends on the e-mail provider which you did not mention. Check their
help to see if they support aliases. If they don't, have her open a new
account with her other name (if still available at the same domain), and
enable auto-forwarding from it to the other account. However, some
e-mail providers require a login now and then to show the account is
still active. In that case, have the primary account poll the secondary
account. The primary account will be logging into the secondary account
to pull the e-mails from the secondary account. Again, depends on the
e-mail provider as to what they require for logins and what features
they have.

It's not clear how you mean that. There's the address,
such as . You could certainly have
. But then there's also the display name.
Maybe you mean that? Display name is what people see
when they read the email. It's typically what shows in
the From column.

might show as an email from "Mary",
"Mary Smith", "Smith Accounting", etc. You can use
whatever you like. It's set in your email program. So
if you mean the display name she certainly could change
that to something like "Mary [Ruth]".

It depends on the email service she uses. For example, outlook.com and
gmail let you use aliases. These are variations on the first part of the
address, all of which go to the same primary email address.

You need to read the info on each of their websites for details of what
exactly you can do.

It is outlook and gmail. She is known as Susan within the family and by
friends at work but needs to use her actual name officially with
companies and banks.

In principle yes, dependant on the email client that she uses.
Thunderbird for instance offers the option to use different 'identities'
with each email account.

She can use whatever name she wants because there is no requirement to
produce a passport or some other ID to create an eMail.

Why don't you learn how to ask a proper question that people can
understand what exactly you are trying to do. Did you know that in
Thunderbird you can create different identities? Probably not as not
many people here would know about it because of their lack of curiosity
of knowing new things in life.

Basically the display name


The "Display name" is what appears in the From header to the recipient.
You did not mention which e-mail client she is using. Some let you
define what is the Display name (in the From header). She defines
multiple accounts within the e-mail client but each connects to the same
online account. That is, she defines, say, 2 accounts in the
unidentified e-mail client. Both accounts target or connect to the same
account up on the server; i.e., each local account uses the same login
to the same online account on the mail server. In each local account,
specify whatever she wants as the Display name. When she sends an
e-mail, she selects through which local account in her e-mail client to
send a message through the same online account, and the local account
specifies the Display name.

Some e-mail clients let you create multiple profiles. Define one with
one Display name and another profile with a different Display name.
Select which profile to use when sending an e-mail.
