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, do you use Outlook Mail, but want your email "from address" to be your gmail address, or an address other than your outlook.com 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 Exchange account likes to be default. 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.

This SetAccount utility forces Outlook 2016/2019 to send all email using the predefined account whether they are new emails or replies, and no matter what account they were originally sent to.

Current version: 1.0.12
