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?

Outlook | Windows | Classic Outlook for Windows | For business

    It is infuriating that we cannot change the display name of emails on New Outlook. Please advise how to do it. I have looked online and there are many people annoyed with the same problems which should be simple of you to change. It was possible to do this on the old version.

    It is absolutely staggering that this issue - along with no unified Inbox - is still present after all this time.

    Sometimes, MS never cease to amaze.

    This thread is 3 years old, I wonder if Microsoft will ever add this feature to Outlook (new).
    I thought I would switch to the new Outlook, as I like the modern and simple interface but I am now considering reverting to the classic version.

    Yup and they have now taken away the option to use the old version so i'm not sending my morning unproductively looking for new e-mail options!! Not happy!!

    I've come to the conclusion that Microsoft doesn't want to offer a good email client free in Windows. They'll offer something crappy, and they know it, just to say Windows has email. It's a strategy to get everyone to subscribe to Office 365 for $$$.
