It has always seems bizarre that the user could amend the displayed mailbox names for POP and IMAP accounts but not Exchange ones also - except by using MFCMAPI which is definitely NOT a tool for users . And now for the Outlook 2016 update to prevent even MFCMAPI changes is totally unacceptable. I just hope it was a developers error and not 'by design'!

I have just upgraded from Outlook 2010 to 2016 and the removal of this feature was the most obvious real deficiency. I have ten email accounts each with many subfolders, and rules set up to segregate incoming email into them. I now have to scan each folder looking for new items; previously any folder with a new item was clearly obvious but now it isn't. It it a trivial job for the development team to put it back - perhaps with a user-definable colour set in Folder Options to distinguish it from the bold setting for the 'currently selected folder'

I have long wanted a similar feature for synching with an Access database of contacts

One would think that it was a common requirement within a O365 Exchange tenant and especially within a domain name. MSFT has long provided the facility to share contact folders but then emasculates a most useful feature by not providing an out-of-profile 'virtual address book' workaround.

If allowing users to change folder names to something more suitable than the email address - even using MFCMAPI which the average Outlook user should NOT be using, why not allow each folder to have an optional alias allowed or not allowed by Group Policy. i find it difficult to believe that the way it now works is intentional; perhaps, being charitable, it is a side-effect of another change, but for heavens sake fix it!!
