    Paul Murana i tried your solution ie created a pop 3 for an alias that i created via office365 (not powershell as that's too advanced for me).. the email came from my main account...

      ab1234260 but did you try sending it outside of your own tenant? If you send it to an internal recipient it will always come from your main account.

        Paul Murana one problem is that the email comes in to the alias but when i hit reply it sends from my main account again... would a share mailbox be better than this approach in your opinion ?

    hi

    This is the parameters I put to create the POP email using the alias name that was created on O365
    Incoming mail
    Server 127.0.0.1 port 110
    – This server require ….. un-checked
    – Require logon …… un-checked
    Outgoing mail
    Server smtp.office365.com port 587
    Encryption method STARTTLS
    – Require Logon ….. Checked
    Message delivery
    Use an existing data file …. Empty

    I get this error message when submitting the above parameter and email does get created :
    Something went wrong
    We couldn’t connect to the incoming (POP) server. please check the incoming (POP) server and try again.

     

    please see attached , regards

      6 or 7 posts above you can see a link to my website with detailed instructions on how to suppress that cosmetic error however you will need to close outlook at do it through the control panel method. When you do it in Outlook it won't let you continue because it wants an incoming server. You DON'T want an incoming server because you will get duplicates.

      I did not want to spam my website link over and over again on here so scroll up. I will PM you the link as well though.
