Introduction

Managing multiple email addresses can be a daunting task. Switching between different email clients and accounts might lead to confusion or miscommunication. Thankfully, Microsoft Outlook offers a feature that allows you to send emails from another email address without the need of constantly switching between accounts. In this article, we will walk you through the steps on how to send emails from different addresses directly through Outlook.

Adding Another Email Account

Before you can send emails as another account, make sure you have added the account as an additional mailbox in Outlook.

1. Open Microsoft Outlook.
2. In the navigation pane, click on “File.”
3. Select “Account Settings,” then click on “Account Settings” again in the dropdown menu.
4. In the “Email” tab, click on “New” to add a new email account.
5. Follow the guided setup process and enter your email address and password when prompted.
6. Click “Next” and wait for Outlook to establish a connection with your new email account.
7. Once connected successfully, click “Finish.”

Sending an Email from Another Address

Now that your additional email address has been set up, follow these steps to send an email:

1. With Outlook open, click on ‘New Email’ at the top left corner of the screen to compose a new message.
2. In the new message window, click on “Options” from the toolbar.
3. In the “Show Fields” group, click on “From.” This will make a new ‘From’ box appear above the ‘To’ section on your email composition window.
4. If you don’t see the desired email address in the dropdown menu next to “From,” click “Other Email Address.”
5. A small window will pop up where you can enter the email address you would like to send as (make sure you’ve already added it as per the previous steps). If it’s an account you have already added, you can simply choose it from the dropdown menu.
6. Fill out the rest of the email details (subject, body, attachments) as usual.
7. Click “Send.” The email will now be sent from the address you’ve picked in the ‘From’ section.

Conclusion

Microsoft Outlook makes it easy for users to manage and send emails from multiple accounts. By following these simple steps, you can now utilize this feature and save time by avoiding the need to switch between different email clients.
