Same contact, different display-name

H

HP

Situation: I receive messages in Outlook from the same colleague Frank
Johnson but sent from his different accounts.
In my inbox p. e.
f.johnson.at.abc.com (sent from work)
amyandfrank.at.home.com (sent from home)
Johnson.at.gmail.com (sent from else)
frankjohnson.at.abc.com (sent from webmail work)
etc.

When retrieving his messages by sorting my inbox, I have to remember and to
look at all possible locations.
My suggestion: an option to create a group based on a contact as a whole
and not just a display name. P.e. an alias.

Retrieving of messages will be easier and complete. Another benefit of
overruling the display-name of the sender: Sometimes these are not how you
would like to recognize the person. For instance, while your granddad of
course sends out with his name as the display name, you might prefer to
receive it with a display name of "Granddad". The same is true with certain
customers; instead of showing their display name, you might want to receive
it with a display name of their company.

Thank you
