The salesman at Verizon set up my new DroidX with the wrong last name on my gmail account so that all my messages out show from my maiden name (which upsets my husband). How do I fix this without dumping everything?

Since it is your "maiden" name, not sure how the salesman was able to put THAT name on the gmail account unless YOU gave it to him.
Regardless, you can go into your Gmail settings, and change this to read your husband's last name.
Open up Gmail and hit the menu button then settings.
Not very friendly. It's my middle name, smartie.
I tried gmail--more--settings--signature. That effort accomplished nada. Am I taking the wrong direction?
ty logginn into gmail at a computer, might be a good ide to change the pw anyway if someone else set it up
then go to settings>accounts and import>send mail as
if that doesnt help try the help there
Thanks. After editing the google account, it now shows the correct name in the inbox but, wierdly, shows the other name when the e-mail is opened. Go figure. I tried to call Google and couldn't get to a human.
