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.

I can't believe this isn't already an option. It is ridiculous that it is not. My account is being shown as something stupid like outlook_<some randome id>@outlook.com because I use a custom domain. Given that it is imperative that this be a feature to give me a reasonable display name

One should be able to name an Exchange account at will as email addresses are not always easy to decipher. For people like myself, who have several email addresses to tend to, specifying an friendly name makes it easier to identify quickly.

Add another request to the list. This is such a basic display feature that is absolutely critical for those of us using multiple mailboxes. The discussion doesn't need to go any further than there.
