Outlook 2016 Send from Outlook Alias Account?

As encouraged by Microsoft, I have created and use an alias attached/linked to my primary outlook.com.  For years, it has been impossible to send e-mail from the alias using the Outlook Win32/64 client.  I have to go to Outlook.com in order to do so.

I have just installed the Office 2016 Preview and am severely disappointed to find that I cannot send from the alias within the new client. 

Am I incorrect?  Is it actually possible to send from ******@outlook.com rather than ******@outlook.com?

    I am using Outlook 2016 and outlook.com....they want me to upgrade to Premium, but it does not offer any real benefits.  I will not go to Office 365 until I have to.......

    I don't think premium is available in the UK.

    However, for one or two accounts, a few pounds a month is ok, but when you require 10 of them it's a considerable cost. Especially after purchasing windows and Office 2016 licences.

    My biggest gripe is still the lack of information. Microsoft; If I need premium THEN SAY.

    As an Office 365 Home subscriber, all of the 5 outlook.com accounts associated to my office 365 home profile have been "freely" upgraded to Outlook Premium : no more adds on the right in the webmail + a "manage outlook premium" option in the webmail menu (that leads nowhere BTW) + a boring email link checking feature.

    It matches the information given here https://blogs.office.com/en-us/2017/10/30/premium-outlook-com-features-now-available-to-office-365-subscribers/

    However, I still cannot send a message "from" all my secondary MS aliases in Outlook 2016 (version 1710 build 8625.2132).
