Default Sorting messages by display name in inbox - searching for workaround

Hello

After many years, I am back at Outlook by the demand of my new boss

I have understood that I can NOT sort emails in the inbox by the display name that I enter in the address book, but that the name entered by the sender is always displayed, and I can sort by this.

Unfortunately, I have some customers that are displayed with the same term, e.g. "Info" or "Service"

Then I always have to click on all the emails until I find the right one, and they are not sorted alphabetically by company, which is quite cumbersome with a few hundred emails in the inbox.

Apart from using the search every time - is there another way - apart from creating many subfolders - to keep the e-mails from one company together?

So mails from info@a and service@a and john@a together - from info@x and service@x and jack@x etc.



I hope that was understandable, otherwise please ask.

Outlook 365, Win 10 and 11 pro 64 bit

Thanks a lot and greetings
Thomas

Not sure this will do what you need it to do.


If the people you want to search for share a domain in their email address, e.g., you receive messages from folks from "abcd.com" and others from efghij.com, you might be able to restrict the search to the specific domain by making a small change to the search field. Instead of searching for this:


abcd.com



Search for this instead:


from:abcd.com


Note there is no space after the colon.
