(Assuming I understand your goal and it's not to send spam) The Apache Commons library we use does it by calling setPersonal on the InternetAddress. http://docs.oracle.com/javaee/7/api/javax/mail/internet/InternetAddress.html#setPersonal-java.lang.String-java.lang.String-

        message.setFrom(me);
