Outlook 2016 Send from Outlook Alias Account?

Just don't waste your time and money with MS, I moved my email account to other provider, cancelled office 16 subscription and installed o'l trysty office 2010 and happy!

I get so furious with Microsoft. Having wasted hours looking for a solution that will allow me to create aliases on Outlook 16 I cannot find any easy solution. Creating different e-mail accounts just creates lots of clutter and wasted time when all I want to do is have ONE inbox yet have the facility to use different e-mail personas for sending and receiving for the different aspects of my business. For a multi-billion dollar company it reflects poorly on the needs of its clients.

I'm another customer and I was having the same problem Fax22.

Last week I was finally migrated from Outlook.com to Outlook Mail (that is to say, from the recent to the new version of Hotmail).

1. In Outlook 2016 I went into File > Info > Account Settings and the account still showed as the old kind.
2. I deleted my Outlook.com account.  
3. I closed down Outlook 2016 and signed-off Windows.
4. I logged back on and re-started Windows.

In Outlook 2016 I went into File > Info > Account Settings and added back my Outlook.com account.

5. The account type is now simply 'Microsoft Exchange'. 
6. After waiting several minutes for the email to be re-synched I logged off Windows again.
7. I logged back on to Windows.
8. I restarted Outlook > New Email.
9. The aliases now appear as options when I click the down arrow by the Sender box and I can send email using an alias.

For me, at least, removing and adding back the Outlook  account so the account type is simply 'Microsoft Exchange' solved the issue of sending email with an Outlook alias.  

(I'm running Outlook 2016 (from Office 365) on Windows 10 RS1 64-bit, both with all the standard Windows Update updates.  And I use Kaspersky Total Security 2017.)

It didn't work for me on Ms Outlook 2016, I did every single step on the internet, but whenever I click a new email, no "From" only "To" shows, so I can't change the primary email and send from an alias instead. I even tried deleting the profile and re-creating a new one to make sure the profile wasn't damaged, still same result, only a waste of time. I even added an alias as a separate email and sent test emails using it, and emails arrive sent from the primary email, not the alias. So frustrating!!! The function is there, in Ms Mail App which is free and has way fewer functions, but not in Ms Office Outlook Professional 2016. They can push it as an update to Ms Office Pro 2016 so professionals can do their work with ease, but, no, just let them suffer and turn to Office 365, and instead of doing my work, I am here looking for a solution which is not there. so everytime I need to send an email from alias, I have to go to a browser, and send it from Outlook.com. the Free app has the function but a paid Office Pro 2016 does NOT.
