This should correct it going out; but to also correct it coming in, you need to ask the senders to correct it in their Contacts file. |

| | Re: How can I fix the misspelling of my name attached to my email addr The real question is, which spelling of your name is registered with your mail provider (which I assume is AT&T/Yahoo). You can't just correct a misspelling if that means you will no longer receive email. AT&T/Yahoo allows up to 10 sub-accounts, so you can add additional accounts with any name you want, but they must be duly registered with the provider. -- Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP (WLMail) "ragz" <ragz@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:C5A0266C-70F9-4277-BBB2-E5A8ECDE46C4@xxxxxx Quote: >I have noticed recently when I get mail replied back to me that my name is > misspelled. ie.

| | Re: How can I fix the misspelling of my name attached to my email addr The email address is correct. The question is how to correct the display name. Correcting the display name is not going to affect the receiving of email. http://helpme.att.net/article.php?item=9357 Roberta, Is this a pop3 account? Are accessing the account using WLM? -- Ronald Sommer "Gary VanderMolen" <gary@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:eCtA6$VaIHA.4696@xxxxxx Quote: > The real question is, which spelling of your name is registered with your > mail provider (which I assume is AT&T/Yahoo).
