How To Change Display Name In Hotmail
0813
Hi guys
Not sure what section this best fits but has anyone ever had issues with their hotmail/outlook acc whereby their display name randomly changed? At work today I got emailed by my wife who has hotmail. My work client is outlook and i was baffled when the display name of her email was suddenly 'ClaimsTax UK'??? Totally baffled. When we logged into her account via browser her display name was set as this. Not something we would ever have done ourselves. I have edited it in the account profile back to her name but this is a concern. Does this sound like hacking or maybe MS getting into a pickle. I know outlook.com has had some issues in the past too but never seen anything like this before!
Thanks
Wayne

Change your 'From' display name in Microsoft Outlook. Type a new display name under the Your Name text box. Double-check it for typos, since this will appear to the world! (your recipients anyway:) Click on the Next button to save, and click Finish to return to Outlook - and you are done!
Microsoft account is the new name for what used to be called a 'Windows Live ID.' Your Microsoft account is the combination of an email address and a password that you use to sign in to Windows 8 or services like Hotmail, Messenger/Skype, SkyDrive, Windows Phone, Xbox LIVE, Zune, Office Live, and Outlook.com. If you use an email address and password to sign in to these or other services, you already have a Microsoft account—but you can also sign up for a new one at any time.
