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?

    I can’t find that I’m afraid.

    You changed the Registry key, and it didn't work? It works perfectly for me. Could you do a screenshot and upload it to this thread?

    This is how I solved 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.

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

    Sure. See attached. Emails form New Outlook don't show that friendly name.

    I'm back on 'old' Outlook for now.
