Best of luck
Paul Murana i tried your solution ie created a pop 3 for an alias that i created via office365 (not powershell as that's too advanced for me).. the email came from my main account...

ab1234260 but did you try sending it outside of your own tenant? If you send it to an internal recipient it will always come from your main account.

Paul Murana one problem is that the email comes in to the alias but when i hit reply it sends from my main account again... would a share mailbox be better than this approach in your opinion ?

ab1234260I tested what you have said and that is interesting because it used to work when replying. I did not see Paul Murana's instructions but I bet they are similar to what I am using. From an outside email address if I email test@secondalias.com it comes into the exchange as the primary account so when you click reply it replies from the main account. Very annoying because I have been using this method for almost 10 years now and in the past when an outside entity emailed an alias it came in as that alias. Sounds like in your scenario a shared inbox would be best. I can't do that in my scenario unfortunately.
