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.

This is ridiculous, such an easy organization feature should never have been erased. When the general Windows Mail program is better than Outlook, that is something to be embarrassed about.

This is one of the most irritating things about Outlook and despite this issue being raised as long ago as June 2017 you have still not bothered to do anything about it! That speaks volumes for your general approach and customer service!! Please get this sorted out forthwith.

Why take away something so useful. Gee, you guys do know you're not the only game in town, right? I want to give each of my Favorites a unique name and not "Inbox-username@doman.com" I want to rename the Favorites Inbox folder to something like "Inbox-Accout1" and the next "Inbox-Account2"...something simple and short.

It's possible to rename almost everything else, and with long email addresses it would be better if I could get rename it to Work, Home, Office, or anything else of my choosing.
