Purpose

The Outlook on the web application does not natively allow you to set the default "From" address. The SetFrom extension for the Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge web browsers inserts the pre-defined address into the "From" field of each new message. If you have a shared mailbox or a group that you have permission to send as, SetFrom pre-populates the "From" address.

This extension can work with the web interfaces of both Outlook.com (free personal email service) and Exchange Online (part of the Microsoft 365 suite of products).

Current version: 1.0.3

What’s new: Changes to the saved address apply to the next new message. Reloading Outlook on the web is no longer needed.

The SetFrom extension is installed from the Chrome Web Store. The link is included in the email from IvaSoft.

  1. Open the link from the email in Google Chrome.
