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.

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!

I switched from Win10 mail app just because it can't support my university account, then I find the much more "powerful" desktop version even can't deliver such simple feature! Microsoft, come on!

Why on earth was this done? Please restore permanence of MCFMAPI edited display names.

YES! I have five Office 365/Exchange accounts (of fifteen different email accounts) that are MUCH easier to juggle when I can rename them properly. I had done this quite easily using MFCMAPI, but the change is no longer persistent. It's driving me nuts. Three accounts are with one company and I had them named such that they appeared consecutively - that is no more. This should definitely be a feature available to users...!

As I'm fielding email from three different sources, a more distinctive name would be very helpful.
