I'm trying to do phishing mitigation in the Outlook desktop app, and I've seen a number of cases where the display name is so long that the email address gets truncated, e.g.

From: Microsoft email account activity notifications admin@microsoft.completely.bogus.example.com

might get truncated in the view pane to

From: Microsoft email account activity notifications <admin@microsoft.com

which looks at least superficially legit.

Is there a way to ensure that the full email address is displayed? Yes, I know that users can mouse over the email address to see who the email is from, but I want to eliminate barriers to good email security.

Ideally, I would like to set this in a GPO.

I think you could try adding a custom form configuration file in the following guidance to your client so that there will be a column displaying the sender's email address in the message list:

Show sender’s e-mail address as a column in the Message List

My test result in the following screenshot is for your reference:

If the sender's email address is a bit long, you could change the Reading Pane to bottom:

Besides, if you want to block the emails from the phishing sender, you could create an inbox or transport rule:
