how to display full email address in the to field when typing email?

Question

Hi

How do you display the full email address in the To field when you are typing an email. Outlook 365 always uses the first and last name. I have set my contacts with the display name of First Name Last Name (full email address) but this has not helped.

Hi @Nathan Keats ,

Are you using Exchange account? Email addresses are not shown for internal (Exchange) messages but do show for external addresses. As far as I know, there is currently no option available in the Outlook desktop client or from an Exchange or Office 365 admin perspective to change this display.

I have already submitted this feedback on the dedicated portal via the link below: https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/idea/b53fae23-b5f8-ed11-a81c-000d3ae5b6f4

Many features of our current products are designed and upgraded based on customers’ feedback. With requirements like this increase, the problem may well be released in the future.
