How do I either stop SMS messages arriving as emails, or convert sender's phone number into a name?

Hello

Every SMS text message that I receive is also appearing as en email.

That would be fine... but the "From:" in the email is just the mobile number of the sender, even when the sender is in my Contacts list!

How do I either:
A) Replace the "From" address with the sender's name
OR
B) Turn this useless feature off completely ?

On my PC I am using Microsoft Office 365 hosted on Exchange, and on my phone (Samsung Galaxy Note 3 running Andriod 5.0) I am running Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync, Outlook and Nine.

Thanks

Open your Email app and go to its settings. Look for a Sync SMS option, and turn that off.
