I have multiple emails that are the same except for a slight change on the end (eg emailaddressone, emailaddresstwo) on New Outlook, I can't distinguish them. Is there a way to change the display name of email accounts and also change the order at which they show up in the list?

    Hello, Thanks for reaching out. I'm Dave, a Microsoft Outlook user just like yourself. I'm happy to be helping other users in the community! You should be able to change the name in which you see your email accounts by going to File-> Account Settings> Account Settings, double clicking the account in question, then changing the “Account name” field. Kind Regards, Dave Microsoft Community Member

    Like Outlook for web, changing the name on Outlook new is not supported right now. Please do send feedback using the Help option to let Microsoft know your thoughts.
