Send as your alias from Outlook
Which Outlook versions can send as your alias through Mailyoto, how to set up classic Outlook for Windows, and what to use otherwise.
Pro or Max plan Updated 31 October 2026
When you finish, you know whether your Outlook can send as your alias, such as amina@lunavera.com, and you have set it up if it can.
To send as your alias, a mail app must read your inbox with one username and password and send through Mailyoto with another. Not every Outlook allows that.
| Outlook | Can send as your alias |
|---|---|
| Classic Outlook for Windows | Yes, with an account you add by hand (below) |
| New Outlook for Windows | Only when your inbox username is the alias itself. It uses the email address as the incoming username. It can’t pair your alias with a Gmail or other inbox |
| Outlook on the web and Outlook.com | No. It can’t send through another company’s server |
If yours can’t, reply from your alias, which works in every Outlook with nothing to set up, or send from Apple Mail or Thunderbird.

-
Start a manual setup#
Choose File → Add Account. Type your alias, open Advanced options, tick Let me set up my account manually and choose Connect. Choose IMAP as the account type.
-
Enter the incoming server#
Fill in the incoming server and your inbox username and password from the settings. This is how Outlook reads the email your alias forwards to.
-
Enter the outgoing server#
Fill in Mailyoto’s outgoing server from the settings. When Outlook asks for the outgoing username and password, use your credential’s username and password, not your inbox’s. Choose Next and finish the setup.
Check that it worked#
Write a message from the new account to someone at another provider, such as diego@harborpine.net.
The recipient sees your alias as the sender.
The message appears in your domain’s Usage and logs tab when you choose Sent under Type.
Outlook has no field for a separate outgoing username
Open the account’s settings, then More Settings → Outgoing Server. Tick My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication, choose Log on using and enter your credential’s username and password.
Outlook can't connect to the outgoing server
Set port 587 with STARTTLS. Some versions offer TLS in place of STARTTLS. If your network blocks port 587, port 465 with SSL/TLS also works.
