SetAccount for Microsoft Outlook 2016/2019

This Add-in allows you to specify the email account to use for all outgoing email. And because the actual account is used, your email will not show the "on behalf of" message!

For example, if you use Outlook Mail but want your 'from address' to be your Gmail address, this Add-in provides that capability.

Outlook always uses the outlook.com account when you reply. You can select a different sending account when you reply, but it's easy to forget to do this on every email.

Life gets harder for people who have both an Exchange account and an IMAP/POP3 account, as the Exchange account tends to default to being the primary sender. You can set "Always use the default account when composing new messages" but this feature does not always work. This behavior is described in more detail here: Outlook.com, Outlook 2016 and the Reply Account.

SetAccount forces Outlook to send all email using the predefined account whether they are new emails or replies, regardless of which account originally received them.

Current version: 1.0.12

Make sure the "From:" field is populated with the address of the account you set in the previous step. Send this message.
