Live Hotmail Rename Tool

The Live Hotmail Rename Tool allows you to rename the account name and the folder set for Outlook Connector accounts in Outlook to a name other than the email address of the account. By doing so, you can use a more meaningful name or a shorter name to fix some interface issues.

Main Program Features

  • supports multiple mail profiles
  • supports multiple Outlook Connector accounts in a single mail profile
  • supports any Outlook Connector account (@hotmail.com, @live.com, @hotmail.xx, @live.xx, Office Live accounts, etc…)
  • autodetects if a configured account uses the Outlook Connector or not
  • allows you to specify a different name for both the Folder Set and the Account Name individually
