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.

As of Outlook 2016, Office 2019 and Office 365 Build 1806, the MFCMAPI method is no longer persistent and eventually your custom display name will be overwritten again with your primary SMTP address.
I would like to be able to customize my account name for email accounts configured in Microsoft Outlook 2016.

You should be able to designate which folder is the inbox, sent, archive, spam etc. For some reason my work email spells the Spam/Junk mailbox as “spam” with a lowercase “s” and this is causing all kinds of problems between my different email clients.

I am now stuck with my @gmail.com address as my @outlook.com account name since your tool is silly.

Same issue (rename account name) except I want it in Outlook 2019. It's a real pain to have one @#&*? account name 25 characters long when all the rest average 6 characters

There are so many threads on this and thousands of people requesting it, going back years - why on earth does Microsoft do nothing about it? I actually find it rude that update after update nothing is done about it, and they can't even offer an explanation as to why not. Is there some reason they actually can't make this change? If so then tell us! If not, then why not actually listen to the thousands of people asking for the change and give the customers what they want!!!

If it's not broken, don't fix it. Please allow us to rename exchange/outlook.com email accounts again.

Yes this needs to be added. Its completely ridiculous that this isn't possible; I have long e-mail addresses because my name is long, and it now goes off the edge of the screen.
I don't understand why this feature is not present.

Don't see why it is now not possible, should be able to name it whatever you want in outlook, this is basic organisation of user mailboxes. Now stuck with an "Online Archive - " I cannot rename to a more meaningful description.

Why does outlook seem to be regressing? Please have named accounts as a posibility, including those managed by Exchange on a Microsoft 365 Business.
