Upon receipt of email, Outlook XP changes Contact Sender name to first Contact with the email address associated with the Contact name
For use with my Palm and Blackberry, I sent up Contact entries as
representations of matters I'm handling (I'm an attorney) in the following format: ll_Big Client - Antitrust Suit ll_Small Client - Small Claims Suit ll_Medium Client - Federal Suit for each of those contacts, I assigned the same email address. The I did that because I wanted email sent to Contact name to be forwarded to a special email account I have set up to use only for my business related purposes (I don't give it out or publicize it). The Contact View for ll_Big Client - Antitrust Suit shows the following as the relevant details: Full Name: ll_Big Client - Antitrust Suit File As: ll_Big Client - Antitrust Suit E-Mail (the commonly used special email address) Display As: Big Client - Antitrust - Suit All client matter contacts are in the same format. I did this because I record work performed for clients (calls, etc.) on my Blackberry by sending myself an email with a description of the work performed. Once the email sent to that special address comes into Outlook XP, it is moved to a Special Folder I have sent up (via a simple Rule). I peruse the Special Folder every day to enter the activity in my time and billing program. When I send an email to ll_Big Client - Antitrust Suit from my Blackberry, it shows up in the Blackberry Messages screen in the way I sent it - ll_Big Client - Antitrust Suit, with my special email address. However, when I open the Special Folder in Outlook to read the email, all entries I've sent to any of the contacts I gave in the example is sent to the first contact I set up with the special email address. In other words, the name of the recipient is being changed by Outlook XP upon receipt. Does anyone know how I can stop this from happening? |

You failed to mention your Outlook version.
Each version resolves names differently. If you are sending to the exact same email address, then you should expect to see the same resolved name each time. You may need to look at a more realistic way to organize your messages, such as rules. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Paul Billings" wrote in message om...
