Change the Account Used to Send Outlook Mail

Agape Catholic Ministries has multiple email addresses set up for most users. Your default email will be user@agapecatholicministries.com. When you compose a new email message, Outlook picks the default account as the From account. However, if you want to Reply, Reply All, or Forward a message, Outlook will send your message with the same account the original mail was sent to.

You can change which account is used to send a message.

  1. In the message window, above to To button, click From.
  2. Click the account that you want to use.

Why is the From button missing?

If you have multiple email accounts, you can add the From button manually. Once you add the From button, you can't remove it unless you remove all but one email account from Outlook.

  1. Create a new email message.
  2. Select Options, then select From in the Show Fields group on the ribbon.

Change your default email account

  2. From the list of accounts on the Email tab, select the account you want to use as the default account.
  3. Select Set as Default > Close.

Always use the default email account for sending new email

If you want to use the default email account when clicking New Email regardless what account or folder you start from use the following steps.
