Send email from a different address in Outlook.com

If you've connected another email account to your Outlook.com account, you can choose to send an email from that address. For example, you might receive a message sent to your Outlook.com account but reply to it using your Gmail address.

To do this, you need to connect another email account to your Outlook.com account. See Add your other email accounts to Outlook.com to learn more.
