Microsoft is adding support for sending emails via alias email addresses from the Outlook for Windows email client.
"Send email from a proxy email address or account alias rather than your primary email address," Microsoft says on the planned feature's Microsoft 365 roadmap entry.
Once the feature is released, users will be able to send messages via Outlook for Windows using any previously set up alias besides their primary SMTP address.
The added support for email sender aliases will help those who need to send emails using multiple branded domain names or on behalf of a company's specific team or department.
In short, after this new feature rolls out, Outlook for Windows will provide users with the ability to choose the sender or FROM address via a drop-down list within the email compose pane.
The company is also adding support for sending emails from proxy addresses to Outlook on the Web, as BleepingComputer previously reported.
