Send an Email with a Different “From” Address in Outlook for Windows (PC)

Send an Email with a Different “From” Address in Outlook for Windows (PC)

Enable "From" field visibility

To change the “From” address, you need to make the “From” field visible.

Open a new email in Microsoft Outlook and then click Options > From.


This will make the “From” field visible.

Changing the from Address

This is particularly useful if you are needing to reply to messages from a shared mailbox but do not want to, or do not have permissions to send messages from the shared mailbox's email address.

To change the “From” address, click the “From” button and select one of the email addresses you’ve added to Outlook.


The email address in the “From” field will change, and when you send an email, it will be sent from that address.

If all you want to do is quickly switch between your email accounts when you’re sending emails, that’s all there is to it.

Send an email from a different email address

You will need "Send As" permissions for that email address.
Please open a ticket if you get a non-delivery notice when trying to send from a different email address.
Compose a new email and then click on the “From” button again.
From there, select the “Other Email Address” option.


In the panel that opens, type in the address you want to send an email from and click “OK.”
