I need urgent help, Thunderbird is displaying my name in my emails incorrectly. Every email that I send has the name Chelsea on it, however, that is not what I want it to say. I want it to say Christopher, so I go into the settings for the email and change the display name to Christopher and I also manage my identities and make sure it says Christopher as well but it does not change it from Chelsea. No matter what I try it still displays my name as Chelsea. I checked this by sending emails to accounts that aren't affiliated with my main email. I also cheeked my GoDaddy settings and it has Christopher on them as well. Please help!!

Apparently BT customers and Hotmail/outlook ones need to log into their web mail to set what their provider insists will go on their outgoing mail.
