This is not an issue in Django (see #31966) and we cannot document all caveats in external services.

Hey Siddharth,
Thanks for reporting this problem.
Can you please provide more information about the issue you experienced, such as the exact function that you tried to use?
Also what does the following refer to: "Some like gmail do not allow you to change the name"?
Do you mean that settings.DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL variable does not get overwritten regardless of what you set from_email to?
