What May Happen When You Send with A Custom From Address in Outlook

Note that freely editing the From field is allowed in the email standards. Depending on the outgoing (SMTP) email server used for the default Outlook email account and the address you use in the From field, a number of things can happen:

• A server such as Gmail will let you send mail from a custom address to Gmail if the address is configured in their own settings for sending.
• If an address is not configured for sending in Gmail, Gmail changes the address in the From fieldto the one used with the account you set up in Outlook. The address used in the From field in Outlook is preserved in the X-Google-Original-From header line.
• The outgoing mail server may send the message, but the recipient's email server may reject it because the server is not configured to send messages using the address in the From field. You will receive a delivery failure notification email.

What Can You Do When a Message Fails to Send Using a Custom From Address?

If you do run into message delivery problems with using a different From address in Outlook, you have two options:

• Set up an account in Outlook using the email account's SMTP server and proper authentication.
• Send using an address that you know will work in Outlook.

You've spent fifteen minutes writing an email, and the Send button is nowhere to be found. You probably just need to configure an email account.

1. Click File.
2. Click the Info tab if you aren't already there, then click Account Settings > Account Settings, and look for your account on the E-mail tab.

If you see your account, but you don't see the Send button, try the steps below.

1. If your account isn’t there, click New. That starts the Add Account wizard.
2. On the first page of the wizard, make sure E-mail Account is selected and click Next.
3. On the next page, enter your name, email address, and your password.
4. Outlook verifies your user name and password, and connects to the account.

The Send button is still missing

If your e-mail account is listed in the Account Settings dialog box, but you still don’t have a Send button, try removing and then adding the account.
