Changing Email Adress?

Question

I have Outlook Express 6, and my email adress is really embarassing. I made it when I was seven, and now it's really embarassing to tell my friends my adress. How do I change my Email Adress while keeping the same User Account (on windows XP) and keeping my adress book? I just want to change the NAME of the adress. Please help!

Answer 1

Sounds like you're talking about the email address, [e-mail]? If that's what it is, then you have to set one up, or get one set up, through your ISP. Usually, when you're paying for services through an ISP, you pay for some number of email addresses (or "mailboxes" as some of them call them...) So that, if you're currently using "[e-mail]" you could set up a new one called "[e-mail]".

If you're talking about your "signature" then go to Tools and Options and Signatures...

If you want to actually change your email address i.e. [e-mail] where you are user, you will have to call your isp and get a new one. If you want to change the display name i.e. Fred Flintstone then just change it on your computer by following the below directions

Change your display name
Open OE6, go to Tools, Accounts, Click on your Mail tab, select your account and click on Properties, change the display name there. Click on ok all the way out and close
