    Hey guys,

    you can disable the sync also for the new version of Outlook for Mac and edit the Full Name afterwards:

    1. Add a new mail profile
    2. Click on "Not IMAP?" (right above corner)
    3. Disable Sync with Cloud
    4. Choose IMAP
    5. Chose "advanced settings" and configure manually
    6. Save
    7. Edit your full name afterwards (shoudn't be grayed out)

    Worked for my version 16.71.1

    Sorry I am not able to upload images (got an error), maybe I will try later.

    Thanks so much, Olutu! This worked for me.
