You could rename the profiles directly in the registry, but why? If there are problems in a mail profile, copying it to a new one will likely copy the problems as well. Why do you need new names? -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]

The first group I created / imported is called "Outlook", not very
descriptive, but was there by default. It seems pretty weak that I cannot just rename them. I am going to have 3-4 of these and want to name them properly. If I copy a prfile does all the email and settings go with it? Before you ask, why 3-4, I have 3 businesses and want each to have there own profile. "Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]" wrote in message ...

Why not create them with the names you want from the outset? If I copy a prfile does all the email and settings go with it? The account definitions should go with it, but the passwords likely will need resetting. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]

The profile named "Outlook" was created automatically.... when I converted
from outlook express... I did not have a choice. "Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]" wrote in message ... "Kevin Zawicki" wrote in message ...
