Display name when sending email. How do I change what recipients sees as display name?

Hello A&M S,

I’m Segunfunmi, an Independent Advisor and Microsoft user like you. Thanks for posting the query here in this forum.

You can change the display name that email recipients see in Microsoft Outlook. Here are the steps to do so:

Open Outlook and go to the File option in the menu bar.

Go to Account Settings > Account Settings.

Select the E-mail and click the Change icon.

In the General Settings of your account, you can go to the Your Name field and change the display name for the report.

If you’re using a Microsoft Exchange account, you won’t be able to change the display name. Only your Exchange administrator can make this change. If you still can’t see what Microsoft states you should see, please let me know, and I’ll try my best to help you further!

Kind regards, Segunfunmi.

Hi. I am having this same problem. I have the Outlook desktop app, but it's controlled by my employer. When I add my own personal account (that I want to change the name on), it keeps getting added as a Microsoft Exchange account and I can't change anything. How can I get around this?

Thanks,

Steve

Hi I'm having the same issue but I am the administrator as there is no other users and this is a new business email that I've set up. Any help on how I can go about this?

Thank you

Thank you
