Folder List shows old user name on mailbox

[Roshan Qureshi]

I have a user running Outlook 2000. The backend is Exchange 2000 running on
Windows 2000 in a Windows 2000 domain with Active Directory. The user in
question started out as a temp and had an account with a username of "temp1"
and a display name of "Temp 1"; when the user was hired, the account's
username was changed to "username" and the display name to "User Name".

Everything in AD and Outlook is working with the new username/display name,
but one minor annoyance remains: in the Outlook Folder List, the user's
mailbox still displays "Outlook Today - [Mailbox - Temp 1]" rather than the
desired "Outlook Today - [Mailbox - User Name]". Can this be fixed, and if
so, how?

TIA,
roshan

Modify the mail profile (remove/add back in the Exchange mailbox, etc) and
it should update.
