The "Options" menu includes nine items:

In this section you can submit and edit your personal information and user preferences, including name and email address. As well, you can set up an auto reply/vacation message for your mail account.
Interface elements and their functions are listed below:
Name
Enter your full name here. This field decides what recipients see in the "From" window when you send an email message. If you leave the field blank your email address will be displayed on the receiving end instead.
