OK, this is really quite annoying, it seem that Samsung in their  
infinite wisdom actually hide the "your name" option on the activesync  
setup pages of their android devices.  This doesn't matter for real  
Exchange users, because Exchange actually changes it to your Active  
Directory configured displayname (tested on this phone with Exchange  
2010).  They've apparently done this on the S3 aswell.

What Zimbra do:

(allow for the server to override the client's setting)

I've tried the clicking quickly thing; I can't get it to work.

Would you be receptive to a feature request to allow for an override  
based on the profile configuration?

Thanks,

Tom.
