I tried Mel's description and it led me to the correct place.

I changed my name years ago but it was only recently mentioned to me that it still shows an alias/different name than my actual name. When I look at the name, my name is my correct actual name. When I email myself it shows up as the correct name. I'm not sure why it still shows a name from years ago when others recieve my email.

Mel's direction for changing the user name worked perfectly. THANKS MEL!
Now to change my address....

I keep recieving group emails from my work and i used to have my display name for emails as "King Cobra." Now I want it to say my name. It is a bit embarrasing seeing that my work contacts can see "King Cobra." I have looked all over msn and changed it. But it still comes up as my email name. How can I help this?

this is nuts, my sister has an hotmail account, in her personal info her name displays correctly, but when she sends an email, the name is someone elses...someone she commented to on facebook. How did the name swich? we have gone through everything in her hotmail and it is all correct. how can we get her name back?

Hi Sir,
How can I set up my outgoing address in the option (not using outlook etc.) to make it like my business address e.g. Leog@mycompanyname.com

thanks
