Contact Display Names

[Joe Medford]

I was wounder if this can be done with Outlook. When I enter my contacts in
the contacts lists, will this change the name shown when email comes in, and
can this even be change.

Example: an email comes in as [email protected] (with display name Test1), I
would like to have the contacts name shown as MyTest. Is this possible?
Thanks in advance.

typically incoming mail uses the display name the sender has configured in
their mail client.



** Please include your Outlook version, Account type, and Windows Version
when requesting assistance **

Can it be changed by the reciever? A customer of mine asked me, I have used
Outlook for several years, 2003 & 2007 version, havn't seen this ability.
But was also woundering if it is possible.
Thanks

No. It's determined by the sender.
