    legend - worked like a dream. Not sure what the other differences are.

    This is unacceptable and appears deliberate. When was this issue raised?

    Adding an account through the option "Sync directly with IMAP" allows for the "Full Name" field to be edited afterwards.

    I solved it, at least for an IMAP account:

    When the account is added with the option to sync via the Microsoft cloud, the option to change the name is grayed out. However, when the account is added to "sync directly with IMAP," the name is changeable.

    So delete the account and try adding it with the "direct sync" option.

    Best
