2. How to send email using a different identity in Microsoft® Office Outlook® 2007to top

By default, when you compose a new email in Microsoft® Office Outlook® 2007, the email will be sent from your primary email address. If you only have one email address or identity this is fine. However, if you want to send email using different identities, then you will need to enter the email address of the identity you want to use in the From line of the new email each time. In this example, we show how to send email on behalf of a shared identity called Company Info <info@mycompany.com>.

1. First start a new email as usual. Then, as per the picture below, ensure the From box is shown by clicking on the Options ribbon and then the Show From button.

   Then type in the email address of the identity you want to use in the From box - in this case info@mycompany.com.

   

2. Then click the Message ribbon and then click the Check Names button as per the picture below. The identity will be shown as resolved by being underlined. You can then compose the rest of your email as usual by selecting a recipient, entering an email title and body and clicking the Send button.
