Is there any option to customize the sender's name upon sending? currently it shows the email address of the sender, but I would prefer it to show the name.
I know it's a basic webmail system, but if someone found a way to do it...?

You can do that now. Just set the address to be in the form of First Last <flast@example.com>. For multiple addresses, use First Last <flast@example.com>, First2 Last2 <first.last@example.com>. Just remember that the comma is the delimiter.

Thanks for the reply.
There's only one place under account settings to enter the email address, but that only accepts account log-in and is rejecting this format.
Where should I be entering it?

Ah, sorry, I was referring to the recipients. I don't know why I was thinking that.

There is currently no way to add a name to the sender's email address, but it could be added easily enough.

I'd love to see this too, although I'm using Drupal 7... great module by the way! I'm very impressed :)

This has been added to the 6.x branch, here: http://drupalcode.org/project/basic_webmail.git/commit/ed95bc0

Look for a 6.x-1.x-dev tar.gz package after 2013-Jul-17.

Apparently, I already had it in the 7.x branch.
