    ab1234260 You can set up forwarding if you do not wish to receive emails in the shared mailbox. Go to the Exchange admin center and choose Recipients > Shared and then Edit the shared mailbox you want to set up forwarding for. Under Mailbox Features, scroll down to near the bottom, you'll see a section called Mail Flow. Click "View details" for the Delivery Options. Here you can designate a user mailbox to forward all emails sent to the shared mailbox.

      hi, ok yes i can send as... but as others have pointed out.. i want outlook to know that with certain users i want to use a different email.. this does autopopulate when i use a pop3 account to manage my email (which is what i was doing) but i'm now looking for all of my emails to be exchange accounts and the deskbound version of the software just doesn't support this properly.. as others have said i have to continually use the dropdown which is inconvenient.. i can forward the email to myself from the shared mailbox but that's not much use if, when i reply, it sends the email from my account...
