Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/jberkel/sms-backup-plus/issues/355

SMS Backup+ doesn't seem to let me configure a name and/or alternative email address to represent myself. It is hard coded to use the gmail address that is used as the IMAP store.

I use a fairly obscure gmail account for this purpose, so I would like to be able to at least set it to use my name.

For example, an incoming text message is converted to an email From:"Name (phone)" phone@unknown.email, To: myobscureaccount@gmail.com. I'd like to be able to configure it so the To address is "Martin" mynormalemailaddress@gmail.com, or at least just configure the name.

Would you mind implementing that as an enhancement?

Thanks for a great little app.
Regards
Martin

OK no worries. I just saw you make the source available so I might see if I can get it implemented myself one day.
