Provide a feature to Customize Account Names for email accounts configured in Microsoft Outlook 2016
Provide a feature to Customize Account Names for email accounts configured in Microsoft Outlook 2016 maintaining case as well as re-arrange their order in navigation pane. similar to Windows 10 Mail app. Also It would be helpful for those who are visual to have the option to change the background color of each mailbox, (Inbox, Sent, and Trash), to avoid confusion when quickly navigating between them.

+1 - This really needs to be an integrated feature in Outlook....let us customize email account names in Outlook. Using the default email address is useless if I have several email accounts on multiple domains but the same beginning because they all look like the same account in the left pane.

The users of Office 365 should have the option to customize the names of mailboxes and mail accounts. Such option should be standard in Office 365, it will make the interface cleaner and more friendly.

I deal with multiple accounts in outlook, having gibberish as names isn't useful

I've always used account names because my addresses are long. I miss the feature.

Never understood how this is allowed for non-Exchange accounts, but not for Exchange accounts themselves.

Why is this even an issue? It can be changed for other accounts (POP3, IMAP, etc) easily.

+1 here. Please allow for editing the account name now that MFCMAPI no longer can do that. Thanks!

This is something that should have been implemented YEARS AGO! It's long overdue!

Making this change available in Windows but avoid having to resynchronize the mailbox in full again, which is what users ask when they don't see the correct email address at the top of the folder list in Outlook.

This is an extremely simple feature on EVERY version of outlook (ios, mac, etc) except windows. Crazy!
