Q: MKI - Sending as MIT & Space email addresses

How can MKI users choose whether to send email from their @mit.edu or @space.mit.edu address?

Answer

Some MKI users have a space.mit.edu email alias linked to their mit.edu mailbox
This allows them to select which address to use in the From field when composing email
The process for enabling and switching addresses depends on the email client used:

Outlook Web Access (OWA)

By default, messages are sent from user@space.mit.edu. To enable sending from user@mit.edu:

1. Navigate to https://outlook.office.com/mail/
2. Click the gear icon in the upper right corner for Settings
3. Under Mail > Compose and reply, scroll down to “Addresses to send from”
4. Click your @mit.edu to enable it as a send-from option

4. Close the settings window

When composing a new message in Outlook for Web, you should now see a drop down in the From field with both your @space.mit.edu and your @mit.edu addresses as choices.

Outlook for Mac App (MS365 subscription license)

Messages default to user@space.mit.edu by default
Users can choose Other email address from the From dropdown when composing a message
Enabling the setting in OWA (above) may also allow the @mit.edu address to appear automatically. If not, manually entering it once may cache i in the client

Apple Mail (macOS)

Mail will send from the email address that was typed when the account was added via

> System Settings > Internet Accounts

1. Go to Mail > Settings
2. Click on the Accounts section at the top
3. With your MIT account selected, click the pull-down next to Email Address, and click Edit Email Address
