Gmail account description
I was going to contact Google or post on the Gmail forum but figured I'd probably get a quicker and more intelligible response here.
I set up a new email address before I moved to Canada specifically for correspondence relating to jobs and accommodation I was applying for separate
from my general day-to-day email.
The email is my fullname@gmail but I had to enter an account description when I set it up so I used "Canada". For some reason some
recipients of my emails see "Canada" instead of my email address in their "from" column in their inbox. This would not be a
major problem but as "Canada" is hugely generic word it's getting filtered by the spam/junk filter.
I've looked everywhere in account settings and there is no email account description box or setting.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

From Gmail go to Settings and then "Accounts and Import"
There should be an option for Send Mail As, there will be a line with your email address and possibly Canada before it, click on edit info the the
right to change it.
