Email with a wrong name?

I have such a problem. My father had his email address on my laptop. I removed them and put mine on top. But whenever I send an email, the name of my father is on the top even though it was sent from my email address. What can I do there?

The description is far too imprecise to be able to help you, because nowadays you have to enter your email in 100 places to be allowed to do something.

You probably use Thunderbird or another e-mail program and the account there has the name of your father. You only customized the email and not the account owner.

Is that a Mac or a Windows PC?
Where was the email address? "on it" is so imprecise. What do you use to send emails? With an email program or from the operator's website

An email address has nothing to do with the laptop itself.

The hangman knows what exactly you've been messing around with. 🤷♂️

Windows Pc. Email was in the Windows Email app. I send emails with the windows app.

Is it more about your father's Microsoft account? You can assign many email addresses to this account, but your father remains the owner of the Microsoft account. If you don't want it that way, you have to create a Microsoft account yourself and create it on your computer. And you then have to log in to your computer with your Microsoft account

Basically, your question is too unspecific, as other things could be the cause

Then it is probably like WIndsbraut wrote. It is easiest if you use another email program e.g. Thunderbird. Then you don't have to change the Microsoft account.
