How to rename an Outlook mail folder with Automator.

Question

Hello,
I would like to use a Service from Automator to rename a mail folder in Outlook. The folder names are "<first name> <last name>". And they need to be renamed as "<last name>, <first name>". E.g. "John Doe" becomes "Doe, John".
In Outlook that would be:
Right click on the folder name.
From the drop down menu, select "Rename".
Jump to the end of the folder name [option] [right arrow].
Select the last name: [shift] [option] [left arrow].
Cut the name: [command] [x].
Delete the space: [delete].
Go to the beginning of the name: [option] [left].
Insert the last name: [command] [v]
Insert a comma and a space: [,] [space].
Finish the rename: [return].
In Automator:
Create a new Service.
Insert "Get Selected Outlook Items".
Record the steps above.
Click Run.
The results of thelast step is: "Watch Me Do failed - 1 error. Application Outlook is not running when it is expected to".
Outlook is running and a folder is selected.
Anybody any idea what I do wrong?
Thanks!
Zojnk.

Go to Setup > Email Accounts > Internet Mail Accounts > enter the user name and password (if required). Now highlight the email ID that your want to edit and select Edit from Menu. Change the text under Email Account Name as desired by you. Then click Menu and select Save.
