Re: hotmail account option
Set up a new e-mail account with Francois instead of Frank in the name.

Re: hotmail account option
Your old account will no longer be is use, though if you choose, you may forward mail from your Frank account to your Francois account and update all your contacts with your new e-mail address. Hopefully people will begin to use your new addy.

Re: hotmail account option
Did you go into the email settings on the BlackBerry and look at the "Your Name" field for that email address?

Re: hotmail account option
If there's no option in Hotmail, then it "should" pick up the settings from the server.
But if it's not, then there is nothing you can do.
GMail is a better option all the way around anyway.

Re: hotmail account option
lets say i add a birth date to a contact on my blackberry, well, i have to re-enter it in my contacts in my gmail account manually, this info that i added, will not sync with the contact in my gmail account
so everyone edit the contacts twice (on the blackberry AND on the computer) each time they add info to a contact?
