Outlook – Is it possible to send an email by a Gmail alias through Outlook 2013

emailgmailmicrosoft-outlookmicrosoft-outlook-2013

I have successfully set-up several mail forwards for my personal website through Gmail. The email server at the address forwards to @ and Gmail can send as these addresses (having done the simple verification step required).

I also know you can set up Outlook 2013 to send as Gmail by creating a new account and setting the correct POP settings etc.

Does anyone know if it is possible to send an email through Outlook that will have the correct alias when sending as Gmail? Instead of it always sending as the gmail account regardless of selected alias.

Thanks in advance.

P.S. This seems more on topic here than over at WebApps as it is through the desktop Outlook application.

Outlook 2013 has gotten much better about replying with the correct FROM. When you create a new e-mail address, the default FROM will be the e-mail box that is currently highlighted.

Below is an example where I can select between my work and personal e-mail address. I had to use Outlook.com for personal since our corporate firewall blocks all IMAP and POP3 (including Gmail).

Anyway, you can also change the FROM (via a drop down) any time:
