choose correct sent-account based on contact

Hi,

 

I would like an automatic selection of the correct sent account based on the chosen contact in Outlook 365.

I've tree accounts in Outlook.
1. @outlook.com

2. @freedom.nl

3. @private.nl

 

I send almost everything with the first account. However, there are contacts that I always want to send mail with account 2 or account 3.
Ding that, I
a. have to remember to do it every time.
b. always specify at 'From' which account I want to use to send.

 

I would like to specify for those contacts that mail always should be sent from account 2 or 3.

Is that possible?

 

If not, how do I make that a wish?

 

TIA

  • Sounds like a great idea though. I hope Microsoft considers this solution for future efficiencies. I could use this feature.

      Hi Teresa_Cyrus,

      are you ready to pay for the add-in that implements this functionality?

      What's the fair price for that, in your opinion?

      Thanks.

        Hi, I wouldn't pay extra for this feature but I would download a free app.
        The ability to align contacts with From line should be easy to incorporate as part of the core features of Outlook.

    I believe you cannot do that natively. Hire somebody to create an Outlook script or an add-in.
