I'm not a geek, but I'll attempt to explain my issue in plain English. I use Windows 10/Office 365, and have set up a new '*@outlook.com' email address on my MS Account. I've also managed to successfully add this Exchange account/email address to Outlook 365.
As I already had an email address for my service provider defined to Outlook as an IMAP/SMTP account, I now have two accounts defined. When I defined the Exchange account to Outlook, it automatically retrieved my Exchange account in the format '*** Email address is removed for privacy ***' and displayed this in both the Email and Data File names in Account Settings. As the Data File description wasn't user-friendly, I successfully used MCFMapi to rename the Data File name (in Account Settings) to match my new '*@outlook.com' email address. I also defaulted my email account to the '*@outlook.com' (Exchange) account which will be my future primary account.
Everything works fine with regard to receiving and replying to emails on my two accounts. However, when I compose a new email, the 'FROM' email address defaults to '*** Email address is removed for privacy ***', although I have the option to override it to my preferred '*@outlook.com' email address.
Is there any way that I can default my Exchange email account to show my '*@outlook.com' email address when composing new emails? I assume that this is also linked to the fact that the Email name in Account Settings displays as '*** Email address is removed for privacy ***' despite numerous attempts to rename it. I can't find anything on the web advising me how to change it! I've tried ringing the MS Help Desk, but they were unable to resolve the issue.
Any help is appreciated . . . answers in plain English please!
