... I have a contact who's name has changed. I changed my address book to reflect the name change. Never manipulate contacts via the address book interface. Update the contact record in the Contacts folder. Their email account in this case yahoo whas changed and if I receive an email from them at any other yahoo, hotmail etc their name is correct. Not on outlook. Does anyone have any suggestions or solutions. I have searched the support and can't find anything usefull. In what field are you seeing the incorrect "name"? Is it their name or their address? -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]

Name change
Thanks for the response Brian.
I did make the changes in the contact page by going through the GO Contacts links. The name is changed in there but when I receive an email from this person the old name comes up on the inbox for example "old name" and then below that the subject "test". I even deleted the contact via the conacts and re-entered it. Like I said if I receive an email via my yahoo account it comes up "new name", "test".

What you see in a the From field of a message you receive is determined solely by the sender. They are the ones including their old name. There's nothing you can do on the receiving end to change that. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]

Name change
That is intrestig because outlook seems to be the only mail service
experiencing this issue. Yahoo hotmail, gmail etc from myself and other users are not having this issue. Thanks for your help. "Brian Tillman [MVP - Outlook]" wrote: "Jeff" wrote in message news
