1122884 - [E-Mail] Cannot change account "name" once email account is created

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 945616

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Gaia::E-Mail, defect)

Description

[sjgknight]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:34.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/34.0
Build ID: 20141126041045

Steps to reproduce:

(1) Open the default email app
(2) Go to mail settings and 'add account'
(3) Create account and save
(4) Go back to settings and access the settings for the created account
(5) Click 'Your name' 


Actual results:

You cannot edit the 'Your name' field once it's created.  


Expected results:

You should be able to edit the 'Your name' field even after the account is created. It should also be clearer when creating the accounts that this is the name that'll appear in headers, (initially I thought it was like the 'account name' - a short nickname to remind me which email account each box was).

Bug seems low-risk since it's in a low-visibility area (as far as I can tell, only within the settings of email) and does not display when actually viewing your email.

Actually ... it *does* display on sent mail. I set my name as "a" assuming I'd be able to edit it after I got my other settings sorted and then discovered I couldn't change it.  Any mail I send from my device (Flame running Boot2Gecko 2.2.0.0-prerelease) comes from "a <[e-mail]>". The only solution was to delete the account and re-add it.
