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

    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.

    I cannot see the option to toggle off. Is this only available if you upgraded from classic? What if you’ve only ever had the new outlook?

    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.

    I switched to Thunderbird instead of New Outlook. In the current state, it is miles better.
