Show logon name in the From field rather than display name

[Terence]

Hi,

Is there a way to change the view of the from field in Outlook to Logon name
(a12345), rathar than the default display name (last name, first name).

In our company, our logon name is a string of alphanumeric. Normally, the
Outlook show the From field from the display name. But because we need to run
some report based on the logonname which is why we need to modify this view.

Thanks in advance for any help.

No, you'll need to do some coding to retrieve the username for instance by
doing an LDAP query.

Where can i find more information on how to code LDAP query in Outlook to
display the username instead?
Thanks.

LDAP queries are not specific to Outlook. You will make them against Active
Directory. You would code in Outlook to retrieve the Display Name and then
cross reference that to AD with LDAP queries to retrieve the username.
Here is some info to start;
