I've seen other users have their own picture in Outlook 2010. How do I add this to my account? I don't see anything in Options/Settings. I've been able to do this in Lync, but not in Outlook.

Per the TechNet blogs, here is an easy way to add the picture:

How To Change Outlook Account On Laptop
CharlieRBCharlieRBI ended-up getting this to work by changing my profile pic on our OWA site (accessible at portal.microsoftonline.com) . Then, in Outlook, I synchronized my offline address book and voila.

What I did instead was to got to
- Contacts (folder below Mail and Calendar folders)
- Add myself as a contact.
In the processing of adding myself as a contact, I was able to upload my picture.
This depends on exchange version actually. 2007 doesn't have any normal graphical way to add the picture, so it has to be done via powershell. If it's 2010 there's a way to add via GUI. So: Which version of exchange are we talking about?
This is what I did to get this working :
- Go to Contacts section in your mailbox (under Calender folder)
- Add my own contact in there
- Double Click on Generic Pic icon
- Uploaded my pic
- Click on Save & Close option in the Header

When you send an email in Outlook, the recipient sees your name in the From field. This could be your first and last name, a nickname, or even a business name. You can change this name to whatever you like without affecting the delivery of the email.
Instructions in this article apply to Outlook 2019, Outlook 2016, Outlook 2013, and Outlook for Office 365.
Change the Email Sender Name in Outlook
Here's how to change the sender name when you send an email in Outlook:
Go to File and select Info.
Select Account Settings > Account Settings.
In the Account Settings dialog box, choose the email account you want to edit and select Change.
In the Your Name text box, enter the name you want to appear in the From line of your emails.
If you have a Microsoft Exchange account, you cannot change the display name. Contact your Exchange administrator to make this change.
When you send a new email from the account, the From field contains the display name you defined.
Change Sender While Composing Email
You can also customize the sender when composing a new email using Outlook. In this case, you'll select one of the multiple accounts you've set up in Outlook. Use this approach to change which account and name you're sending email from on the fly, no matter what account you opened the new email from.
To customize the sender when writing a new email:
Go to Home and select New Email.
Select the From dropdown arrow and choose the account that you want to show in the From field.
If you don't see the From field in the email compose window, go to Options and select From.
The name you've defined for that account shows up in the From field when the recipient opens the email.
Change the Reply-to Address
An alternative to editing the From field is setting the Reply-to address. The Reply-to address receives replies to the original email.
To configure the Reply-to address:
Go to File > Info.
Select Account Settings > Account Settings.
Choose the email account you want to change and select Change.
In the Reply-to address text box, enter the email address you want to receive replies to your messages.
When the recipient replies to the email, the reply will go to the Reply-to email address you've specified.
