Most of my clients "just say no". Change the display name and change the primary email address. That's all.

I have to comment that as common as name changes are - in marriage, divorce, and witness protection programs :-P - I'm surprised at how much of a PITA it is to do this.

But in those unique instances where no isn't an option, can't you blow away the user's Outlook profile and recreate? Won't that change that one innocuous little display item that no one except the user can ever see? On Mon, Oct 13, 2014 at 4:07 PM, Michael B.

At the top of the Outlook 2010 client it says, "Inbox - [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> - Microsoft Outlook". She wants that changed. My Googling is just coming up with how to change the account name (File, Account Settings, Account Settings, double-click on the account name, More Settings..., and then change "Type the name by which you would like to refer to this account". That's not working. I'm sure there's a way to do this, but I'm not finding it. Can somebody throw me a suggestion? -Paul
