Anyone here have an update? It's been almost two years since the posts that the feature was in development, but I still don't see it.

    Hi MichaelPollard, do you mean that using a mobile web browser is not an option and you definitely need to use mobile Outlook?

      Victor_Ivanidze, yes, using a web browser is far more involved when, for example, a member of security needs to send an email alert to all supervisors from mailto:Security@, and it's far more bandwidth-heavy when much of our large facility has poor cell service (normally 1 or 2 bars, but usually stable, because of a concrete and steel shell) and no wifi.

      Using the Android app is quick and easy for sending a text-only email, but sending as an alternate address needs to also be quick and easy.
