Please note that the example posted by karim79 has a header parameter that may cause you much grief: "Return-Path" - when I included this parameter like the example it prevented me from adding a from name, only a sender email address worked.

Specifically (when I added a debug param to see what was happening) there were extra angle brackets added around the from name so it tried to send this to the smtp server:

From: > or
From: <"from name" > when I tried using quotes.
This caused the smtp connection to quit with an error of invalid address.

Also when using the mime_mail class you need to specify the "To:" parameter in the headers or it will appear to be sent to undisclosed addresses when you receive it. So replace the Return-Path param with a To param and it will work.
