Question

Step-by-step
Send As in Outlook for Windows
1. In Outlook, act as if you are going to send a new email
2. You should see "Send", "From", "To", "CC", and "BCC", if you do not, see "From" or "BCC", the next couple of steps will go over this
3. To enable "From" and "BCC", click the "Options" tab at the top of the new email
4. Under the "Options" tab, click "BCC" and "From", you should now see those options when composing a new email
5. Select the "From" drop down
6. Select "Other email address" or if the address you already have access to Send As automatically populates, select it
7. If you selected "Other email address", type in the email address
8. Continue composing the email as you normally would
9. The message will now be sent as or on behalf of the mailbox you select. "Send As" or Send on Behalf" is determined by the permissions that were set for your account.
