Sending email as alias in office365?
I know this thread is a little old, but it ranks highly under a Google for this issue so wanted to add more information.
It is now possible to send for alias addresses quite simply using O365 and Outlook.
- Simply add the alias to your account in the usual way in O365 Admin.
- In Outlook, open a new mail and from the "Options" ribbon ensure the 'From' button is pressed to reveal this field.
- Click this drop down and select "other email address".
- Under here you can manually type the email you want to send from
- The next time you return to the from drop down, the address will be there to select with 1 click.
Hope this helps someone one!
James O'Sullivan In keeping with the necro-thread trend - this doesnt work; even if send-as is set, it doesn't allow sending from the alias.
JWinSC I agree it does not work for me either when it is for sure enabled. The only way I can get it to work is by setting up a POP account with the alias and creating an app password since I have MFA enabled. Here is a walkthrough on my website. I am not very happy with the video (it was my first attempt) I made so I prefer the text walkthrough.

Let me know if you have any questions.
- Hi afabozzi-20 and JWinSC,
could you please confirm that sending as alias doesn't work in both cases:
1) when you are using OWA
2) when you are using Outlook for WindowsOutlook does not work for me (even after the powershell command)
OWA worked (tested it after posting here).
