How to Send as Alias in Outlook

BMIT or your Microsoft Office 365 administrator will need to add an alias to your account first before you can use this feature. Users can’t create aliases themself.

Outlook on the web and Outlook for iOS and Android now support sending from aliases. Users can enter aliases in the From field on mobile devices and they will be stored for future use.
