Sending email as alias in office365?
James O'Sullivan the recipient will still receive this email from the primary email address and not the alias. I just tried it.
nickchristieIf you setup a POP account for the alias and email someone in your organization you are correct it will show the primary address however if you email someone outside your organization it will show correctly. Try a gmail or hotmail address to confirm and let me know. I did this for two account yesterday and emailed my personal address so I know it still works if setup per my instructions. https://www.fabozzi.net/send-from-an-alias-or-secondary-exchange-account-in-outlook/
afabozzi-20 Hi, i did this but ended up with a bug when i resent an email ... it also resent the original email... so if you sent something to someone then opened the sent email and used the resend email option, it resent the new version to the original person.... basically it was buggy.. honestly i don't know why MSoft can't just create an option for multiple email accounts that doesn't involve additional mailboxes...
ab1234260I see what you are saying I will have to test that I don't use that feature often. I completely agree though this should have been native functionality in 2003 in my opinion however there must be something programmatically that makes it tricky implement or Microsoft is focused on other things and consider this a low priority.
Microsoft has now enabled send-as Alias on April 29, 2021. However, you have to enable it via powershell for the organization. You can find the instructions in https://www.derekseaman.com/2021/04/microsoft-365-can-now-send-email-as-proxy-address.html
