    I have both a Windows 10 and OS X 64-bit version of Office 365 Home 2019, and it's embarrassing how this feature is available on the OS X version, but not the Windows 10 version, especially since these apps were designed for Windows. Why it was even disabled is beyond me. The development team clearly either got lazy or unbothered because taking away features such as renaming AND rearranging our root folder display names steals away from the user-friendly experience of customization. It just looks sloppy having the full email address names truncated or dragged all the way out to view in their entirety. It's a small detail, but it's these small details that make apps stand out from other similar ones. Again, it's embarrassing that this feature is available on OS X, but not Windows.
