An **identity** is the name and email address that appears in the **From** field of the messages you send. RoundCube lets you set up more than one, which is handy if you send from more than one address.

## Add or edit an identity

1. Click **Settings** in the toolbar on the left, then **Identities**.

2. Your current identity is listed. To edit it, click it; to add another, click **Create**.
3. Fill in the **Display Name**, **Email** address, and optionally an **Organization**, **Reply-To**, and a **Signature**.
4. Click **Save**.

When you compose a message, you can then pick which identity to send from using the **From** dropdown.

:::tip
You can usually only send from an address that belongs to your account. Adding an identity for an address you do not own will not let you send as that address.
