Purpose

Office 365 mailbox may have multiple SMTP addresses. For outgoing messages Exchange online service always uses the primary SMTP address. For example, John Doe has a mailbox with john.doe@companya.com primary SMTP address and john.doe@companyb.com secondary smtp address. John Doe can easily receive the message addressed both to john.doe@companya.com and john.doe@companyb.com, but he cannot send the message as john.doe@companyb.com because Exchange online rewrites the From address to default one.
ChooseFrom application allows Office 365 users to send an email message (or a meeting request or a task request) with any of their own SMTP addresses as the From address.
The application is a cloud service.

If you have only one email address you might be interested in ability to send mails using different sender names. Examples: John Doe <John.Doe@contoso.com> BestFruits Co <noreply@contoso.com> John Wayne <John.Wayne@contoso.com> info <John.Doe@contoso.com> or LuxuryCars Co <noreply@contoso.com> or Джон Уэйн <John.Wayne@contoso.com> helpdesk <John.Doe@contoso.com> FreshMeat Ltd <noreply@contoso.com> 约翰 <John.Wayne@contoso.com>
We've recently released a new feature: sender address rewriting aka Unconditional sender rewriting rules.
Example: the message you sent as Jane Doe <jdoe@contoso.com> will be transformed to one that sent from Helpdesk <info@nortwindtraders.com>
