Sending email as alias in office365?
I used to have my domain email hosted in office 365. The reason i switched was because of a lack of a feature i really needed. You had the ability to create multiple aliases in office 365 so you coul...
userhtx Indeed, I have never had an issue using "Send As" with the full desktop Outlook application. In my experience, the issue described where using "Send As" shows the alternate From to other internal emails but will show your primary email and disregard the "Send As" when emails are sent externally only happens with OWA. Apparently, Microsoft has a fix for this on their roadmap. In the meantime, people who are unable/unwilling to use the desktop application can workaround the issue by opening the shared mailbox in a separate browser tab using the URL I linked above.
Let me add another element of the retirement of the connected accounts is auto-populate the reply that populates the from field on an reply. Connected accounts had this feature. As i said MS retired the connected accounts a couple years ago. This forced me to shift my setup to manage my distinct email identities (different domains and funneling into one main account) via use of the DistList permissioned to send as ... but the Dist list approach did support auto-populate from on reply. For example, external sender sends to one of my identity email addresses i have setup in parallel using DistList .. such as name@domain2.com where name@domain1.com is my main account .. so from my inbox i would like to just open the email and click reply and the name@domain2.com would auto populate the from field .. instead with the DistList approach i have to manually set from by picking from dropdown every time .. with the former connected account this feature auto-populated the from field and i found that far more efficient and less subject to accidentally missing that selection which then sends out as the main name@domain1.com .. ie wrong identity.
Do you know if that config / feature has been added back?
