I have Exchange Server accounts with two different organizations. I would like the "From" field in messages I send to display my middle name rather than my first name. Changing the Settings:Accounts:Full name field in Outlook (Mac, 2011) does not seem to have any effect. If I connect to the Exchange server as an IMAP server through Mac Mail I am able to change the "From" field in messages to people outside the organization, but in emails to people within the organization the server overrides this and displays my first name again, leading to confusion. Am I missing something?

Or you can change the "Display Name" on you user's property page. --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP
