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?

Hey @Jonathan Lanz1
I did find the registry key for one of my mail accounts (the one for gmail, not the one for icloud). I did change the FriendlyName for it, but sadly it did not change the display name for sending mails.
And for the iCloud Account there was no entry at all.
Sadly, the issue also exists for the iOS App, but not for the Mac App.
I'm on my Apple laptop. I tried to upload a picture of the Registry key; but somehow, I don't think it uploaded.
Did you find the Registry key with your email?
If you found it, look on the left PANE and you'll see a VALUE "Friendly Name' -double click on the key and edit the name.
If you need help, please feel free to email me. *** Email address is removed for privacy ***
THIS only applies to Outlook NEW, not Outlook CLASSIC.
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?
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.
People I send email to are going to just get a random number... GREAT!
