Hi,
Is there a way to create a field that will automatic get the content of two other fields?
Ex. I will use two different fields for first name and last name.
I also want to setup an additional field with the combination of this first and last name in one field. So when a customer will complete a form and he will state his first name and his last name in two different fields, another (one) field will be automatic filled with his first + last name.
Will this be possible? -

Yes, this is possible, the easiest way to do it is through the Form Calculation widget. I cloned your form for demo. I added the Form calculation widget then on the calculation pad I added the first name and last name fields to concatenate their values.
Please refer to the screencast below:
For reference: How-to-Perform-Form-Calculation-Using-a-Widget
I hope this helps. Let us know if you need further assistance.

Hi, thanks for you answer and it works.
However...
I have created a Calculation field. Field name will be "Volledige naam CAL"And I will use this new field (first name + last name) in the mail sender address.
However, when I click in the list of the available field names, this calculation field is not available.
How to solve this? -

Unfortunately, you cannot map widgets into the SENDER NAME of the email template. It will only read plain text fields.
I suggest using a SHORT TEXT ENTRY field instead and just use a condition to combine the First and Last name fields.
Add a condition to populate the "Combined" field with the values from First and Last name fields:

As a result, you can map it to the email template's SENDER EMAIL selection:
