The first time we will need to type the address, the next time you can easily select it. Now we will need to add your alias address. Click on New Message in Outlook Online.The initial setup is the same, you will need to enable the feature with PowerShell as described above. You can also send emails from your alias address in Office 365 with Outlook Online. The recipient only sees the alias address and the reply goes back to the alias as well. I have tested it by sending email from the alias to Gmail and other Exchange Online tenants and everything seems to work. The next time you can just select the alias from the dropdown menu in the From field. Make sure that the From field is displayed (otherwise enable it under options). To send mail from your alias address in Outlook is pretty simple. Your Microsoft Office 365 administrator will need to add an alias to your account first before you can use this feature. The recipient just saw my primary email address.Īfter waiting another 5 minutes and testing it again everything worked as expected.
During my first test, I could send the mail from the alias, but the reply-to field wasn’t set. It can take a couple of minutes until the feature is fully working in your tenant. From the Control Panel, click Mail and then click the Email Accounts button. Set-OrganizationConfig -SendFromAliasEnabled $true We can enable the feature by setting the SendFromAliasEnabled to True in the organization config: # Connect to Exchange OnlineĬonnect-ExchangeOnline -UserPrincipalName Make sure you have the latest Exchange Online PowerShell module installed when using the PowerShell option.
You can also enable plus addressing if you want to use that as well. The send from alias option is turned off by default, so if you want to use this feature you will need to enable it in the Exchange Online Admin center or with PowerShell. The recipient will see only your alias and not your primary email address. When you use an alias to send an email from it will be preserved in the From and Reply to field for the recipient. But I have tested both and it seems to work in Outlook Online as well.
This new feature should become available for Outlook on Windows this month and for Outlook Online later this year according to the roadmap.
The feature has not been announced yet, but it’s already documented in the service description and seems to work fine. Under Set default From address, choose the address you want to use and select Save. A long-requested feature to send emails from an alias in Office 365 seems to be finally released. Go to Settings > View all Outlook settings > Sync email.
