how to update the sender name in the new Outlook?
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.

Hello,
I’d like to support this request, as I’m experiencing the same issue/desire. In the previous version of Outlook, I was able to edit the sender name of my email account, so that my name (First name, Last name) would be displayed instead of just the email address.
In the new version of Outlook, only the email address is shown as the sender, and I can no longer change the display name.
It would be very helpful if this functionality could be brought back, so we can choose how our name appears when sending emails.
Thank you for considering this!
