Sender Name Incorrect - Gmail to Outlook for Mac
Hello All,
This is going to be a tricky one to diagnose - As we have a Gmail Account syncing to Outlook for Mac, so we don't know if the issue is a Google, Microsoft or an Apple issue.
I have spent the last 30mins talking with a tech from Google, they have logged in to our Gsuite account and confirmed all is correctly setup on that side. So we are now trying the Microsoft side.
We have a staff member who had a different surname when she joined our company. She was married last year, her surname changed and we updated this on the Gsuite side. These changes successfully synchronized with Outlook 365 on a windows PC that she was using at the time.
However, last month, the design team were all moved to Macs for their work and their Microsoft 365 subscriptions were moved across.
Since this change (around 2-3 weeks ago) the sender name in Outlook for Mac has reverted her name to the old one.
We have checked Gsuite is all set up with the correct name and whenever I use Google to search for help online, each time we navigate to the location they suggest on the Mac, it is always the correct name displayed.
So we have been unable to find where the issue is located.
The Google tech did suggest that the issue may be due to a sync issue in outlook,
"it is Outlook that has not updated the information of the contacts properly and deleted outdated info"
I am hesitant to remove the account and re-add it to see if this corrects the issue - so was hoping maybe someone may know if there is a button or a hidden option somewhere that will allow us to correct this issue.
On a side note - where the name shows up in the accounts option of outlook, the name does not have the option to be changed (I assume as it is being synced from Gmail)?
