The advanced configuration will allow me to specify an SMTP user name but there is no way to configure the IMAP user name being different from the email-address.

    Open command prompt (cmd.exe), change directory to where outlook.exe is located (C:\program files\microsoft office\root\office16), run> outlook.exe /manageprofiles

    This will bring up the old dialogue for setting up email accounts...

    After heavily pushing Outlook New its embarrassing that they don't even have basic setting like Name for IMAP users.

    Trash @Microsoft.

    I've got both old and "new" (dumb) Outlook installed and can only use control panel to set up old outlook accounts. Did you face this?
