Hi all,

one solution that has occurred to me is to login to a shared mailbox via a pop3 account... i've tried this and it looks possible but i couldn't get the login to work... any thoughts?

    Also there is this to mention on the roadmap although it is for OWA where at our company we mostly use the Outlook program.

    Victor_IvanidzeIt is my understanding this is a 3rd party service that you would have to route your mail through and it is a paid service.

     

    I have created an AutoIT script that helps automate setting up sending from an Alias account. If anyone shows any interest I can look at tweaking it for public use. At the moment it is customized for company use. Here is a screenshot:

     

    After filling in the information when you click go AutoIT opens the mail config and enters the information based on what was entered. Also a mandatory signature gets created and there are steps along the way that still require manual intervention. Although if anyone with scripting/coding experience can lend a hand I think this would be a pretty neat tool until Microsoft natively implements the feature.
