Windows 10: How to create an alias in windows 10 mail.

How do I create an alias in Windows 10 Mail. I just want to use a different "From" address with my mail. This address forwards to my main email account. It does not have a separate pop account. I was doing this on Mac mail and have just switched to Windows 10. In fact I would like to be able to choose which "From" address I use when I send a mail. I use two different ones. One is my main address associated with my pop account and the other is an alias which forwards to my main address. In short a true alias.

Alias does not reflect under the Mail app on Windows 10.

Hi,

As per the description, I understand that the Mail app crashes and you are unable to see the alias on the Mail app.

I appreciate if you could answer to a few questions to narrow down to the issue.

• Did you receive any error message?
• Are you able to see the Alias in outlook.com?

As an initial troubleshooting step, I suggest you to check if the alias gets reflected on Outlook.com, just to make sure that whether the account issues is related within the Mail app.

If the Alias reflects under Outlook.com, I suggest you to run the app troubleshooter and check if it helps to resolve the issue.

If the issue still persists, I suggest you to delete the account from the Mail app and add it back the account again.

Windows 10 mail app shows alias as main account instead of my main email.

Hello ChunMan,

I have questions for you, similar to those I am others in this thread.

• When you upgraded to Windows 10, was this an upgrade from Windows 8?
  • If Yes:
    • Does this account have an email address for a non Microsoft domain (@gmail.com, @Comcast.net, etc...)
    • Was the alias account was present in Windows 8?
      • If yes, was the alias account the default account for Mail on Windows 8?
  • If no, was your Microsoft account primary alias previously the alias account that your not able to remove?
• When you first logged into Mail on Windows 10, was the alias account automatically listed, or did you have to manually add that account.
