NameFromContact for Microsoft Outlook 2016/2019/2021

Updated:

NameFromContact has been created to change the Display Name of incoming email as you defined.

Problem

Let's suppose you have an email correspondent Louis Armstring whose email address is L.Armstrong@jazz.org>.
In Outlook you have added L.Armstrong@jazz.org to Contacts with display name Satchmo.
When you send him a message, in your Sent items it displays as Satchmo.
When you receive a message from him, in your Inbox it displays as Louis Armstrong <L.Armstrong@jazz.org>.

You'd like to see Satchmo <L.Armstrong@jazz.org> in your Inbox items whenever you receive a message from him.

How does it work?

When you receive a message NameFromContact tool detects the sender address and searches for it in Contacts. If this address is in Contacts, a tool retrieve the Display Name from the contact item and changes the From: field accordingly. You will see the name you have assigned to the sender.

   Current version: 1.0.2
 
The application is a COM add-in that only works with the classic desktop version of Outlook for Windows.

It is not compatible with the new Outlook for Windows.

To confirm your version: If you see File on the top-left of the screen (menu bar or ribbon), you're using classic Outlook. If File is missing (e.g., you see a simplified ribbon or sidebar), you're using either the new Outlook for Windows or Outlook on the web.

  2. Run Outlook. Select File > Options > Add-ins and make sure that NameFromContact exists in "Active Application Add-ins" list.
