Help! I have a seperate webserver account for my business and have
changed over the addresses in my outlook 2003 to display my domain
(user@domain.com) in the email name instead of the bellsouth default
email address (user@bellsouth.net). Now "certain" times when I send an
email it shows my email coming from someone else instead of me in the
from block.  It uses the correct email address, but the wrong name.
When tested using this test message email (Subject: Microsoft Office
Outlook Test Message
This is an e-mail message sent automatically by Microsoft Office
Outlook's
Account Manager while testing the settings for your POP3 account.)it
always comes from that "other" person, who does not have an account or
an email address thru my business.
Why is this person's name showing up in the "from" block on certain
times? How do I fix this?

Click Tools>E-mail Accounts>Next and tell me how many accounts you see.
Also state your Outlook version.

There is only one account there.  It is the original account there.  I
added another account with the pop server and SMTP address of my web
host at first but then deleted that account after I figured out I just
had to change the email address on the original account to reflect the
web host address instead of the bellsouth address.

The version is Outlook 2003.

If the symptoms tyou describe were happening to me, I'd start afresh with a
brand new mail profile (Control Panel>Mail>Show Profiles>Add) and add the
account in again.
