Changing FROM name in Outlook for Windows?

Hi,

 

Is there a way in the app to change the FROM name? I have looked everywhere and just cannot find it.

 

I've setup an IMAP email account using a custom email from my own .co.uk email address. The FROM name is showing as my personal name, but I would like to change it to my business name.

 

 

thanks

 

Sam

    You can try - edit the name of the Microsoft account profile through which this mail account was created.

    If you manage to change it - it will take 24 hours to make changes in your Outlook account.

      Deleted  This is a custom email address, it's an email address removed for privacy reasons  - I just put the username and pass in to Outlook for Windows and it pulled my emails in.

       

      So technically it's not linked to any Microsoft account profile. I am logged in to a Microsoft account via Windows etc though, but surely it can't be that complicated to change the FROM name?

       

       

      cheers
