NEWEST FORMAT
Hover your pointer over the GEAR...upper right...Select SETTINGS...  You should
already be in ACCOUNTS.  Click on EDIT to the right of your email address. 
Change what you want it to be.
Don't include special characters, such as "@".
If you leave the box empty, recipients won't see a sending name on your email, 
but they will continue to see your email address, which you can't hide.
If you leave the REPLY-TO ADDRESS blank replies to your emails will 
come back to your email address. 
Click Save.

line when in the NEW, REPLY or FORWARD mode and that is what your recipients
 will see in their inbox.
