    Yeah, no place to change name and MS support is no help. Garbage product - and MS sucks for pushing this new version.

    Really Microsoft? I've been staring at this same issue for well over a year and still no fix for it? I'm trying to like you Microsoft but you're making it really difficult for me to stay in this relationship. No matter what I try, I cannot find any reliable fix to simply change the outgoing name on my emails and there is no where intuitively obvious that I can see to fix it. Deleting and recreating the account doesn't work. But then again, should I really have to go through all that headache to fix something that should work in the first place and that I'm paying for? Get with the program Microsoft.

    Same issue here! We need a solution, please!

    I have the same problem.

    I switched back to the legacy version - and it works! In the old version interface, those two boxes which were gray in the new version are now turing black and editable.

    I don't have any option to turn off the sync.
    I can go to the "choose the provider" screen....
    But there's only the provider list... the option "turn off the Sync with Microsoft Cloud switch" is completely missing here :-(

    Any idea? Anyone? :)
