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.

Please, let us name the e-mail accounts the way WE WANT. IT's extremely annoying to try to differentiate between different e-mail accounts having to read the whole e-mail address.

If this feature could be implemented, it would greatly improve the end-user Outlook experience and save some headaches for Office 365 Admins.

This Outlook account name problem pops up for every company anytime a person has a name change (typically due to marriage, divorce etc)
This inability to change the account name also becomes extremely problematic if you are changing the primary SMTP and UPN for an entire organization. -

Using multiple email accounts this would be very helpful. I'm now using MFCMapi for as long as it works. But that is not the way for many (simple) users.

It would be really great for MS to consider User Comments and Feedback on this issue (and others)…
For people with several mailboxes, its Very Important this feature so that we can customize according to our needs.... -

It is extremely annoying, does anyone at MS ever look at user feedback? I am not a programmer but how difficult can it be?

Don't understand why this feature is still not there. It's vital for the users with multiple mailboxes.

Customization of email account name in Outlook needs to be integrated as a standard feature as it is normally very long and confusing if you have to manage several exchange/office 365 accounts.

+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.

Please, I want to change the display name on Outlook and I can't change it at all.

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.
