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?

    People I send email to are going to just get a random number... GREAT!

    New Outlook does not give me a "file" option. I have Home, View and Help. I explored all of the setting options and cannot find any option for changing my name as shown as the email sender. At one time my name was incorrectly shown on my email provider. I corrected it and it shows correctly on my web email, and in Old Outlook but not new Outlook.

    That happens when software development is run by AI and helpdesk support enforced by even more stupid bots..

    Varmaan Dave123 ymmärtää hyvin suomenkieltäkin.. joten.. mutta olisi hyvä kertoa apua hakeville OIKEILLE ihmisille, että vastaamassa on botti.. ja ihan kaikki ohjeet eivät välttämättä ole.. järkeviä.

    Sellasta, kuinka voi työntää softaa käyttäjille jossa ei edes perustoiminnot pelaa?

    Well... I've dealt with the issue for the last few days, and I finally figured out how to change the "Display Name" for Outlook New.

    Click on the search bar on your Windows PC, and type "regedit'. Open the Registry Editor.

    Click on EDIT and then select FIND.

    In the find pop-up windows type the email for which you want to change the display name for.

    Once it find finds the entry, look for "Friendly name"

    Hi Jonathan,

    I followed your method to change the display name on New Outlook and got as far as clicking on Edit and then selecting FIND and typing my email address but cannot find any reference to "Friendly Name". Any suggestions?

    Thanks.
