Environment

  • Oregon State University
  • Exchange Email

This is a known issue and Microsoft says it is intended behavior: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-US/outlook/troubleshoot/user-interface/smtp-address-in-users-profile-not-change

The only fix is to recreate the Outlook profile (or add a new Outlook profile).
