Default Changing the name of Inbox - or helpful workaround

My inbox is named "Inbox-TStephan", which appears in the folders and at the
top of the viewing column when I am viewing my inbox. We recently added an
add-on program that can't work with my incoming emails if the name of the
inbox is not just "Inbox". When I go to properties of the inbox, I can't
change the name. Is there a way for me to change the name, or how would I
create a new inbox and import my mail to the new box? Thanks for any replies!

If you are running Outlook 2003, you can start it with the /resetfoldernames
command line switch.

How to:
* Start Run
* Type: outlook.exe /resetfoldernames
* OK button

Try restarting Outlook once with the /resetfoldernames command line switch.
