New PC, New OL 2003 - wrong sender of email?

T

Tim

I just helped a buddy build a new PC. TOTALLY new stuff. No old hard drives
or *.pst files brought from old PC. It has Windows XP Pro and Office 2003
installed on it.

We configured a junk POP3 account he keeps in his back pocket and used the
'test account' function in ACCOUNTS. The mail we get back has HIS email
(let's say [email protected]) address as the sender but his wife's name (say
Jane) as the displayed sender. Naturally he doesn't want to send mail to
folks that seems to come from her. --- I've looked at the email account and
only HIS name is on it.

Although he THINKS we created a user account (admin?) for her when we set
the machine up, I can only find HIS admin account when I look in the
ACCOUNTS area of the CONTROL PANEL. He thinks that her name is getting
pulled from her account we made when we installed WinXP Pro. I think maybe,
but possibly elsewhere.

Questions: Where IS her name coming from? How do I get HIS name displayed as
the sender?

Thanks for any help!
Tim
