- Proposed display name
- Full mailbox address
- Directory owner for corrections
An email you can adapt
The subject “Please check your email display name” identifies the request. Replace each bracketed field with a checked detail and remove any sentence that does not describe your situation.
Subject: Please check your email display name Hi [name], Your new business mailbox is [address]. Before you use it externally, please check that the sender name appears as [proposed name] and that it matches the professional name you want colleagues to see. Reply with any correction using this address. We will confirm what can be updated in the mailbox profile and company directory. Please do not send a password or verification code in your response. Best, [sender]
Check the boundary
A display-name update may not immediately replace names already saved in another person’s contacts.
What a useful reply should settle
The reply should confirm the preferred name or state the exact spelling that needs changing.
After an approved correction, check a new message rather than relying only on an old thread.
