Message sender.name is not honored in API call

[jarriagad]

Hello,

I have been trying to change the display name of the from field when sending emails.

This parameter does not seem to be honored when requesting the emails end action

My code:

Sending email with default account name

>>> ne = mbox.new_message()
>>> ne.to.add('[email protected]')
>>> ne.subject = 'test subject'
>>> ne.body = 'body'
>>> ne.send()

Sending email with custom from - notice there is no "from" key in the api payload

>>> ne = mbox.new_message()
>>> ne.to.add('[email protected]')
>>> ne.subject = 'test subject'
>>> ne.body = 'body'
>>> ne.sender.name = "custom name"
>>> ne.to_api_data()
{'subject': 'test subject', 'body': {'contentType': 'HTML', 'content': 'body'}, 'importance': 'normal', 'flag': {'flagStatus': 'notFlagged'}, 'isReadReceiptRequested': False, 'isDeliveryReceiptRequested': False, 'toRecipients': [{'emailAddress': {'address': '[email protected]'}}]}

Sending email with custom from and email address - not the additional "from" key in api payload

>>> ne = mbox.new_message()
>>> ne.to.add('[email protected]')
>>> ne.subject = 'test subject'
>>> ne.body = 'body'
>>> ne.sender.name = "custom name"
>>> ne.sender.address = '[email protected]'
>>> ne.to_api_data()
{'subject': 'test subject', 'body': {'contentType': 'HTML', 'content': 'body'}, 'importance': 'normal', 'flag': {'flagStatus': 'notFlagged'}, 'isReadReceiptRequested': False, 'isDeliveryReceiptRequested': False, 'toRecipients': [{'emailAddress': {'address': '[email protected]'}}], 'from': {'emailAddress': {'address': '[email protected]', 'name': 'custom name'}}}

All the code snippets above are valid and return True but when the email arrives in my inbox, the custom from values are disregarded and the default account name is displayed. Same as if I had not set the sender attributes at all.

I'm not sure if this is the expected behavior of the sender attribute or if this is indeed a bug. If anyone has dealt with something similar or if this is even possible.

The goal is to send an email from account Service account <[email protected]> but display the name as Different name <[email protected]> on arrival.

Thank you, Javier

when using sender we use the 'from' attribute from ms graph, which only accepts an address if not mistaken.

So no, we do not use the sender name currently.
