Step 3: Select Your Alias

  1. Click the From dropdown.

  2. If you see your alias listed, click it to select.


Step 4: Add a New Alias (If Not Listed)

  1. If your alias is not in the list, click Other email address….

  2. Type the alias email address (e.g., 
    helpdesk@yourdomain.com).


  3. Confirm your selection.

Step 5: Send Your Email

  1. Verify that the correct alias is displayed in the From field.

  2. Compose your message as usual.

  3. Click Send.

Notes

  • If you do not see the option to send from an alias, contact your IT administrator to confirm alias permissions.
