I use Outlook 2013 connected to my @outlook.com email, contacts and calendar. I have set up an alternate "from" email address in the settings on outlook.com so that e-mails I send from my outlook.com email address should appear to the recipient as if they were sent from that alternate address. This function used to work flawlessly when sending emails from Outlook 2013 as well as several i-devices also connected to my outlook.com account. Following the recent "migration" of my outlook.com account, this feature doesn't work when sending emails from Outlook 2013.
Post migration, MS recommended establishing a new account in outlook 2013, which I did. Outlook set up the new account automatically using the MS Exchange protocol. Now the "send from" feature doesn't work for emails sent from outlook 2013. They come through with my @outlook.com address as the sender. Emails composed on outlook.com and any of my i-devises still come through correctly with the alternate "from" address. One solution is to leave my outlook 2013 account set up using the Exchange Active Sync protocol (which I have tested and the "send from feature works) but then I lose the new and better features of the Exchange connection (particularly those related to contacts, groups, folders etc.)
Is this a flaw in the Exchange protocol? Does anyone else have the problem? Will Upgrading to Office 365/Outlook 2016 fix it?
