Hi there,

Since a while some of my emails in my inbox show the wrong name of the sender. They are names of other senders I know. So for example, I get an email from 'sender A' but in my inbox it shows the name of 'sender B'. The senders name are always senders that I know or are familiar with. It always happens with emails that are send from Linkedin.

Weird isn't it? Please advice on what to do.

Best, Ilse de Graaf

I would first back up my profile.

Having done that, I would right-click the affected folder, select Properties then Repair Folder.

However I'm not 100% confident this will fix your problem. :-(
