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?

    This is a pure case of crappy programming. ALSO MISSING is the ability to link accounts into one inbox. I have 12 email accounts, and have to check each one constantly to see if I've missed an email. My iPhone still has that ability, but not the "NEW" outlook. In my opinion, the new outlook is a piece of ****. And trying to switch to the old version does not work. All of the settings have to be manually reentered.

    It's unbelievable that there is no way to change it right now. Those who carry out this development should be fired immediately and competent people hired. A pathetic brigade.

    Hello,

    After much trying (and patience), I figured out a way to change the name on the NEW outlook.

    (Without any support from Microsoft, obviously)

    PS - These steps are for business accounts that are connected via Gmail.

    Steps:

    1. Log into your Gmail account.
    2. Go to the Settings logo on the right upper corner.
    3. Go to "Manage this organization".
    4. Click on "Update a user's name or email".
    5. Select the user by entering the name, even if you have only one user.
    6. Click on "Proceed".
    7. Enter the name you want.
    8. Click on "Update user".
    9. Refresh the page, as the change might not show up immediately.

    If the name doesn't appear on Outlook yet.

    1. Remove the Gmail account from Outlook and add it again.
    2. Shut down and restart your computer if it hasn't shown up.

    I had to shut everything down and start it again and send a few check emails. But it finally showed up!

    Genuinely hoping that this helps someone!
