Tip #4073 - OE Account Names
Printer Friendly Version | E-Mail This Tip
OE
Account Names
Do you use Outlook
Express as your main e-mail program? If so, how many accounts do you have
set up? Maybe you have one for yourself, one for your spouse and a couple
others for your children. We have a similar setup for our e-mail accounts
here at the WorldStart office. We all need to have our own e-mail address,
because it just wouldn't make sense for all of us to use the same one.
Okay, so what am I getting at? Well, keep reading and you'll find out!
With all the accounts
you have set up, have you ever needed to change the name on one of them?
You know, maybe two of your children needed to switch accounts or maybe
you just felt like changing your account name to something a little more
fun. We've had to do that many times here in the office. For instance,
when new employees are hired in and others leave, we have to change the
account names so that the e-mails will come from the right person. So,
if you need to do this too, how can you? Well, it's really simple. Just
follow along with me!
In Outlook Express,
go to Tools, Accounts. There you will
see a list of all the OE accounts you have on your computer. Highlight
the name you want to change and then click on the Properties
button. A new dialogue box will then open and you can type in the name
change. You'll want to do that in the very first box you see, as well
as, under the User Information section. You'll also want
to change the e-mail address to fit the one the new person uses. Just
delete the old information out and type in the new. It's that easy! When
you're all finished, click OK and then Close.
So, from now on, all your accounts will be updated with the right information
and all your e-mails will be correct again. I'm lovin' it, aren't you?!
