Overview

This article explains how to set the "From" address to another email address via multiple email platforms (Outlook on Windows, Outlook on Mac, etc.)

 

Note:
Before you may send As or send On Behalf of another email address, you must first be given that permission. For access to an individual's mailbox have them provide you permissions following these instructions. For shared mailboxes, please send an email to support@indwes.edu
