A few questions to the new Outlook365 on Windows

Hey.

 

After many years, i switched from Office2021 to Office365, mostly because of the 1TB OneDrive storage and more up2date software.

 

I installed the so called "new Outlook365" desktop on my Windows computer. 

The program says: Microsoft Outlook-Version 1.2024.807.100 (Production).

I am not sure if its already a final product or a beta version 😕

 

I use outlook for many of my e-mails and to manage my calendar/tasks/to do lists.

 

My questions:

1) I added in the new Outlook365 several IMAP e-mail accounts and found nowhere a possibility to change the senders name, which is shown normally next to the e-mail adress. I changed the name in the webmail client from my webhosting account, but that didnt help either. 

 

--> Is it not possible in the acutally version for IMAP e-mail accounts to change the senders name?

 

2) How can i customize the left app bar in the new Outlook365?

I see there only a few app icons, but no option to change them or to add for example OneDrive, To Do, etc.

 

 

3) How i can integrate my To Do List & One Note from Microsoft365 in Outlook?

I have looked everywhere, but have found no option, how i can integrate them in the new outlook.

 

Hope the community can help to resolve my problems.

Thanks in advance.

      Hi. 

       

      Thanks for your help - this settings i have set up in the former outlook and there it is functioning.

      The so called "new" outlook has no settings like this....

        I have the same problem.... Been using Office 2021 for years, decided to switch to Office 2024 (LTSC) today and I'm very annoyed with the fact that my name isn't displayed in sent e-mails (IMAP accounts) and there doesn't seem to be a way to do it..  Can't imagine why Microsoft decided to change this...  So unless I find a solution, I will switch back to Office 2021.....
