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 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"

    Probably never as they have had hundreds of requests to do so and couldn't care less about their customers.

    It appears so. However I've run across the issue where outlook classic is being redirected to Outlook new on a number of computers that are paying for 365. I've only been able to stop a handful of them from switching over.

    In this regard, Microsoft should take notes and either continue to support classic indefinitely, or update the "new" interface to work like or similar to the old.
