And by "different accounts" I mean other email addresses (and aliases) that have been setup as send (or send/recieve) accounts within the one outlook.com account.
For example, within my <me>@outlook.com account at outlook.com I have configured the following accounts/email addresses from which I can send email, one of which is set as the default:
<me>@example.com(Default)<me>@example.org<me>@example.net
However, when composing a new email on the Outlook iOS app I can only select from other accounts I have setup with the iOS app itself (by tapping in the "From" field).
On the Android Outlook.com app (and on the website) I can easily select from any of the above accounts/email addresses, as well as select the default account from which to send (in settings). However, on the iOS app, I cannot find this information anywhere, nor the ability to select the default account?
The Default account: However, when I send email from <me>@outlook.com in the iOS app it does "magically" send it from my default account (ie. <me>@example.com)! However, there is no indication of this in the iOS app (it simply shows <me>@outlook.com in the "From" field) and there does not appear to be anywhere to configure this – as far as I can tell?
Using the latest versions… iOS 8.3, Outlook App 1.1.9
So, in summary, when using an Outlook.com account in the Microsoft Outlook iOS app:
- How do you send From other addresses (and _aliases) configured for this account?
- How do you configure the default send From address for this account?

I ran into this post while doing some research.
I think this works now, but if you add your aliases after you added your outlook account to the app i think you have to add them manually in the app. At least that was what i had to do.
And they need to be connected in outlook.com as well.
