Using classic Outlook for Windows in business environments
So is Microsoft going to fix this or what? It's now 2024 come on.
How do I change the display name of emails on "New Outlook"?

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 am a Mac user, but I have to use Windows computer at work. I have tried to make this "name thing" work. It doesn't. The regular outlook app is horrible.
I suggest investing in a Mac since Apple mail is golden.

2024-04-18T16:42:00+00:00 I switched FROM Thunderbird because at least for me and my IMAP account Thunderbird was painfully slow to do anything. Waiting minutes to delete email, even after compacting/optimizing/rebuilding the account. Outlook is much faster, but poor in essential features.
