Windows 10 20H2 ad Office 365 latest version

When I send email from Outlook the name displayed seems to vary in format for no particular reason.   I need a way for every email to show the display name  PLUS   the actual email address associated with it in Contacts.  This same format needs to apply when receiving email from anyone but i cannot find any place to chose what i want displayed in those fields. 

I have no idea why a very few contacts work in the way I need them to but most do not.
John and Mary are husband and wife but Johns emails always show his full email address inside a parenthesis after showing his display name of John Doe.
(example To:  John Doe ([email protected])

When receiving email from people, I would also prefer that it show both the display name as well as the complete email right beside it in the same manner rather than showing only the display name.  Oddly enough, on John Doe, when he send me email it dos NOT show his full email address but only his display name which  makes me wonder if this is due to something done by 'autofill'

I have noticed that a few other people also work as John Doe does but 90% or more do not.   Outlook is using the offline global address book and i have checked their contact cards in that list and cannot find any differences.  I thought it might be a property of the address list used but that doesn't seem to be the case. I also cannot 'force' this format as Outlook replaces the full address with the display name in 90% of the cases But not for John Doe and a few others where it shows the Display Name and the full email address inside the parentheses.  I also have autofill turned on and this is the way autofill adds the address for these people.

Is there any setting located somewhere in Outlook that I can use to get the From and To: fields to always display both the display name as well as the actual email address  for all email such as   To: John Doe ([email protected])?   Instead of only showing the display name of just To: John Doe

Asking Apache is going to be the next step for sure. 
I need to know what software doesn't work with Apache's .htaccess password control as that is why the problem came up to start with.   

A couple of sites that we ran for this one client would not work for them becuase their systems blocked any sites we made that used .htaccess to ask for  a password.  We have made other sites for the same people using our Old client site software which also had login/passsword requirements.  But it used a MySql database which controlled all aspects of the site contents.  They had no problem using that setup. 

But when they tried to access a site guarded by the Apache .htaccess setup, their systems threw up all kinds of security warnings unless we removed the .htaccess login requirements.  This only occurs with that single client so it must be some security arrangement they use on their systems that doesnt want to work with Apache .htaccess.

However, removing that leaves the sites Open Access to anyone and apparently the robots.txt which worked fine for all these years (and still does work if the sites are password protected) isnt enough to prevent indexing of contents by Googlebot. 

Bottom lione is that as is, we cant password protect that client's sites anyway so finding out why they wont accept .htaccess is the biggest part of the problem

Robots.txt always seemed to do the job but we have recently found that it no longer seems to work as well as it used to.  Various documents and other items were recently found in a Google web cache that in theory should not have been there.  I just wondered if there was any better way to prevent having every file in every site posted somewhere in a web cache?  Is robots.txt still the only and best thing to use for an apache website?  if possible I would like for Google to forget the whole domain exists as it contains private files that are in a preliminary stage. No need to for anyone to ever be able to find them through a web search

Lintalist:, Excellent question and one we did look at.  Actually we did try using one for exactly that.  But the problem is we are already set up with our own website and are trying to accomplish this within the bounds of the site we have.  Shades has offered a suggestion that I am going into right now ad it might fil the bill quite nicely.
One annoying thing was that MS OneDrive would have worked very well for what we wanted,  But: Business One Drive Won't    Without taking a lot of time to explain, I can just tell you that the two products are not the same and the things that would have made it perfect for our needs are only available on Personal One Drive.  MS made it clear they would not be happy if we tried using Personal Onedrive for business purposes even if we paid for it.  I contacted them to ask.

Thanks, Shades
I will definitely look at that
the site is an Apache one and I need to review the option you presented
it probably would be fine
we did have a perfectly good Document manager site but too many people wanted it 'easier' meaning no tracking of anything
that left it with no way to manage anything either.  Originally each user had a login and password so could be identified and access controlled
now the whole site has a single login and password so there is no way to manage who can see what.  As far as the site can tell there IS only one user :(
