email address name doesn’t match my account name

23. August 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , , , ,
Hello,
I've noticed that some of my outgoing emails from Outlook 2011 are appearing in people's inboxes under a different name than mine. The email address matches, but the name of the 'sender' is wrong.  I found the 'mystery name' hidden in the preferences of another Office program (powerpoint I think), and changed it to my name.

Somehow this has not solved the problem and I am still getting reports of the 'mystery name' showing up instead of my own.

Has this been experienced by anyone else, and is there a fix?

thanks
Jason

The 'contacts' form has just changed....how do I add a new contact to one of my categories?

how to change language the audio password is spoken in?

04. August 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: , , , ,

When I encountered a hotmail page to enter the password seen on screen I took the 'Press Audio' option to hear what I should type in as I do not always understand whether to enter upper or lowercase letters, however the audio plays the password in a language I do not understand - how can I change this?

The first recommendation I was given only changes the viewing language - I want to change the AUDIO language - can anyone help please?

Can’t view or remove contacts Live Messenger

31. July 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Messenger · Tags: , , , , , ,
Hi there,

I can't view or remove new contacts from my Live Messenger, I can use the 'Add a friend' dropdown on Live Messenger to add a contact, but they don't get a request to add me nor do they appear in the 'offline' area of Live Messenger. When I go to the 'Contacts'->'Delete A Contact...' menu I can see their details in there but can't delete them. When I click on their name to delete them, it just closes the 'Delete A Contact...' box and they are still there when I open it up again. If I try to add them as a contact again Live Messenger tells me I already have a contact with that email, and emails need to be unique. Users have tried to add me too, but I get no contact request through from them at all.

I have added contacts before, I currently have 4 people on my contact list, and these show as online/offline correctly, and I can chat with them. It's only new contacts this is happening with. I haven't made any major changes to my OS since I installed Live Messenger and added the original 4 contacts about 1 month ago.

Things I've tried;
  • I've tried adding the contacts through hotmail.com in my web browser, I can see the contacts in my 'contact list' in the browser but they still don't show up in my Live Messenger and not in the 'messenger' area of the browser when logged into hotmail.com.
  • I've tried uninstalling Live Messenger and re-installing it, but that didn't work.
  • I've also tried uninstalling the whole of Windows Live Essentials, and then re-installing Live messenger, but that hasn't helped either.
  • I've tried adding the users to my favourites, but they don't appear there either.
  • I've tried adding the users through hotmail.com and then deleting them there, but they still show up in my Live Messenger's 'Delete A Contact...' list and Live won't let me add them again as they already exist.
It seems a bit odd I can't delete the contacts to try adding them again. I'm using Live Messenger 2011 (Build 15.4.3555.308) on Windows 7

Any help would be appreciated!

"to" autocorrect improperly

on 'new' I use the "to" to insert an address but it does not update to the new contact list. I deleted a contact and renamed it, the old form  does not show in the regular 'contact' list but SHOWS in the 'to' list and wont let me type any form of that contact, whether new or old. It is stocked on the email address, and won't take any changes to the name.

Hotmail is meant to be secure: what's going on?

I checked the time and date of one of the 'Private Messages' and it was around 9am on 12th July, in fact I was at home 2 miles away feeling ill.

The only other thing I know is that on Monday 9th July one of my best friends allegedly sent me a 'Private Message'. I couldn't open it, it was an ad for
an i-phone or something like that, which I can't afford and don't want. It asked questions I didn't understand and then it crashed. At the time I wondered
why my friend sent it, then I forgot about it. Now I know she probably didn't send it at all!

Some how, my sent emails are not being recorded in the 'sent' file.

Any suggestions?
