Solved

how to update the sender name in the new Outlook?

I don't see it under the account settings. I was able to do this in the old Mail app. Thanks

Bjh4850 The sender name for IMAP accounts is not editable.

For outlook.com and Microsoft 365 Work or School accounts, it picks the name up from the server.

I apologize for the delayed response. You have received a couple of options from other users. Did you get your question answered?

I hope this feature (setting sender name on IMAP accounts) is added soon. I am using my iCloud account on the New Outlook, and otherwise it works very well.

  I don't see it on the roadmap yet. Stay tuned.

    Hello again... just touching base on this.
    
    A number of people have reported the problem in the suggestions forum, and still nothing seems to have been done. Is there any way of giving this priority?
    
    Thanks

I believe Diane_Poremsky_MVP answered it for me.
