Mail.app: Updating From name for iCloud email accounts #

Neither Mail.app nor InternetAccounts.prefPane offer a way to change the From name for iCloud email accounts.

Edits to "Name" at https://appleid.apple.com/account/manage/section/information are reflected at the top of System Preferences but not in Mail.app.

One must instead:

1. go to https://www.icloud.com/mail/
2. click gear icon at top left
3. click Preferences...
4. click Accounts
5. click account name
6. change text in "Full name" as desired
7. click Done

in order to update the name in Mail.app.
