How to Send an Email With Any From Address in Outlook

When you create a new message in Outlook, the email address you used to sign in to Outlook appears in the From field. If you have multiple email accounts and want to use an email address that is not associated with the account you opened in Outlook, edit the From field of the message and enter any email address you want.


To use any email address in the From field of a message you are composing in Outlook:


  1. Start with a new message, reply, or forward in Outlook.

    New Email button in Outlook
  2. Go to the message header area and select From.

    From button in the Show Fields area of Outlook.

    If the header area does not show the From field, go to Options and, in the Show Fields group, select From.

  3. Select Other Email Address.

    Other Email Address menu in Outlook.

    If the email address appears in the list, select the address and go to step 6.

  4. In the From text box, type the email address that you want to appear in the From field.

    From address chooser in Outlook.
  5. Select OK.

    OK button in From address chooser for Outlook.
  6. Compose the message and select Send.


  • Note to check you are sending from the correct address next time you send a email
