I've just installed Microsoft Office Outlook 2007.
I'm not sure what happened but I have 4 accounts only one of the shows the
name I gave it. The other 3 say this:

incoming.serviceprovider.com
mail.serviceprovider.com
mail.serviceprovider.com(1)

I've typed the name of each account in the user information that says "your
name". If I try and send a message from either of those 3 accounts it doesn't
say the names I gave them, it says what I put in above. What did I do wrong?

I've also using Vista BTW,

Thanks,

The account name isn't the same as your display name. To rename your
accounts press More Settings in the account configuration and set the
preferred name on the General tab.
