Receiving email on alias but not able to send any emails - Outlook on the web?

Hey folks,

I've created a couple alias email addresses via Outlook itself (via https://account.live.com/names/Manage) but recently when I try sending an email from any of them it simply does not get sent? I can receive emails on those aliases.

This on Outlook in the browser (not the app), I select the alias I want to send from and it shows in my sent box but it never reaches the recipient. I've tired multiple different recipients and no it is not going to their spam either, double checked that. This used to work, are aliases just broken now? UGH!

Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

    Yes, totally agree it's a real POOR show from Microsoft 365

    Also spoken twice to the know it all's (supposably) and no further on.

    Unfortunately, the issue remains. I will check again in a few hours, but so far the message sent via the alias still end up unsent in the DRAFT folder.

    Unfortunately, this is not going to get solved. The feature has been discontinued and removed by MS. Verified by talking to their support just like several others have done. Just read some of the other replies here...

    Since there was no warning or notification I think this has been handled disastrously bad. And that's why I won't renew my M365 subscription. I've used this for my primary e-mail address for many years and was 100% depending on it. All suggested "workarounds" are big downgrades in functionality.

    Well, if this is really no longer possible and will not be fixed I need to change my email as well. After ... 25+ years? That would be terrible. I am really hoping Microsoft reconsiders this decision.
