    Correcting Misspelled word in calendar appointments

    Several months ago I entered a recurring appointment in to the calendar on my T-Mobile Dash and synced it with MS Outlook. I recently noticed I misspelled a word and corrected on my T-Mobile Dash several times and I noticed that it reverts back to
    the misspelled word. I spoke with someone at T-mobile, I was told to delete the appointment and start over. Is there no way to correct a misspelled work with out starting over?
    Is there a setting on the phone or in MS Outlook that I missed?
    Thank you for any suggestions and or help.

    Before assisting further, are you editing Microsoft user account name or Local user account name?

      OK.
    • Close the window, lock the PC (press Windows logo + L keys on the keyboard) and check if the changes are effective.


    The above changes made will reflect only on the Login/lock screen. To change the name of the user folder in
    C: drive, follow the steps below:
