I hardly use the webmail via the browser but when you log in and access your email via browser I have noticed that when you reply or forward an email the "username" displays your password instead of your username!!!

ie password (email@orcon.net.nz)

anyone else seen this

Regards

Just tried it on mine and couldn't reproduce..

Check what your Display Name is set as under Settings > Identity

I wonder if your browser auto-fill or a password manager might have inserted it into the wrong field at some stage?

Perhaps you are using LastPass or some other password manager and it's filling the wrong field?

*edit* I should read the thread, what JNimmo said lol






I'm a geek, a gamer, a dad, a Quic user, and an IT Professional. I have a full rack home lab, size 15 feet, an epic beard and Asperger's. I'm a bit of a Cypherpunk, who believes information wants to be free and the Net interprets censorship as damage and routes around it. If you use my Quic signup you can also use the code R570394EKGIZ8 for free setup.

Thanks, everyone,sorted, it was in identities, not sure how it got there though as I don't use any password manager ...

I'd check your Sent items folder on webmail, make sure you havn't actually sent anything to anyone with that as your display name.. And maybe just go ahead and change the password to be safe anyways.
