Windows 10: Multiple alias in Mail?

I set up my posteo.de email account in Mail app as IMAP account. But on posteo.de I have multiple aliases. Is possible to add these aliases to Windows 10 Mail as outgoing addresses?

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.

Unable to change primary alias - Microsoft Account

Hi John,

As per the description, you are experiencing issue with you are unable to change the primary alias for your Microsoft account on the system.

I certainly understand your concern and appreciate all your efforts in trying to fix this issue.

I would like to provide you with the information that
an account alias is an email address or phone number that you use to sign in to your Microsoft account. You can have multiple aliases, and use any of them with Microsoft services such as Outlook.com, Skype, OneDrive,
Office, Xbox, Windows and more.

Your primary alias appears on devices such as your Xbox, Surface, and Windows Phone, and is the email OneDrive sends from when you share. You can choose a different alias to be the primary one at any time.

An alias is also the best way to change your email, but keep all your mail.
Add an alias, then make the new alias primary. Then you can
keep or remove the original alias.

I would suggest you to try the following steps and check if that helps.

• Sign in to the
  Microsoft account website.
• Under Account aliases, click/tap on the Make primary link to the right of an
  
  added email alias you want to be your primary alias.

Note: The email alias at the top of the list without a Make primary link is your current primary alias.

• Uncheck the Send me promotional offers from Microsoft box if you like, and click/tap on Yes to confirm.

You may also try the following steps given below and check if that helps.

• Navigate to Start>Settings>Account>Your Account.
• In the right pane, click on Sign in with a local account instead.
• Provide your current Microsoft Account Password.
• Follow the on-screen instructions.
• You can leave the Enter Password option empty, however, it is highly recommended to keep a password on your system to keep it safe.
  

For reference:

I would suggest you to refer to the article given below and check if that helps.

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.
