Windows 10: Outlook Client can't send gmail messages from @outlook

This is kind of confusing to explain, and because of that I can't find anything online about it. Years ago I forwarded my gmail account to an outlook account and then I could set the @gmail.com address as the default "from" email address when using outlook, both online and through the client (Outlook client from Office 365 and using Windows 10).

Example: I receive an email at [email protected] which was forwarded to [email protected]. I could then respond from outlook, both web and desktop clients, and the email would be sent back as though from [email protected]. So I didn't need to update people to the new address, I could just keep sending stuff as though it was from my gmail and even I am using an outlook email.

Sometime over a year ago it stopped letting me do this from my desktop outlook client. It says that I don't have permission to send on behalf of [email protected] and I have to resend the email from [email protected], which has caused people to start asking me what my real email address is.

If I send from the outlook web client, I can still send with [email protected] as my default address, but I can't from the desktop client.

I need help doing one of two things. Either getting the desktop client to allow me to send as though the from address is the gmail address, or I need it to stop making me manually change every email as being from [email protected] in order to send.

Any help would be appreciated. If my explanation isn't clear, please feel free to ask clarifying questions.

As a note, the issue is on both my desktop and laptop, so it isn't limited to one device.

Outlook and gmail

What was the message and where did it originate from?

As it appears no one has told Google or Microsoft:

 

How to install outlook express on windows xp with explorer 8?

This is an awkward problem to solve and one I don't think is worth the time and effort.

The OP would be better off either using a modern webmail service like gmail or outlook.com or using a modern email client like Windows Live Mail like FX-GMC suggested or Thunderbird from Mozilla. If nothing else, Outlook Distress was notorious for corrupting its data files and losing all your email in one easy step. Not worth it.
