Are you referring to the name shown in the Title bar ? Each
email account/profile is referred to as an "Identity". You can
modify that by clicking File, Identity, Manage Identities and
then click the Properties button for the Identity to modify.
From here you can change the name of the Identity.

OE Tools | Accounts | Mail: If your old account's still listed here and you
no longer want to access it in OE (or you can no longer access it), Remove
it.
If you're referring to your old ISP's name appearing in the titlebar (very
top of the OE window), we can fix that, too.

We are getting closer to solving this problem. However, when I open Outlook
Express, on the top is a line which reads as follows: Outlook Express
provided by the old internet provider. On the right is my correct identity.
How can the old internet provider be changed to the new internet provider?

I don't think so, see PA Bear's response/link earlier in this thread.
His suggestion will likely work for you.

The old account is no longer listed there. This is the first time I use this
