Default Contact Display Names

Someone mentioned earlier that the "Display as" field is of little
consequence. What is this field for then? I thought it was the
field that "displays" to the sender when you use that email address.
Is that incorrect?


The Display As field is what Outlook puts in the recpient field when the
sender resolves an address. It's what the sender wishes to see in the
recipient field for that contact when composing a message. It's just a
sender-friendly text string that doesn't affect what address Outlook uses
for the actual delivery address.
