Hi,
According to the August 2025 What's New, we are supposed to be able to specify the reply-to address when composing an email. However, I am unable to find this option.
I tried manually typing it in on the "From:" field but it didn't work, so where is this option?
Thanks!

Locked Question. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
When composing a new e-mail, open it in a separate window, go to the Options tab and then choose the option "Show Reply to." That option will be added below the "To" field.
Thank you, @Stefan Blom !!!
I've been waiting for this feature since forever!!! :)
Have a most fantastic rest of your day!
I'm glad you found the option. Thanks for the follow-up.
That only works in Classic Outlook, not the "new" Outlook client for M365 :(

If you follow the steps I outlined, you can do this in the new Outlook. To be clear, the screen shot is from the new Outlook. If your Outlook window looks different, you may have to choose to display the full ribbon first.

It used to be possible to set 'reply to' to apply to ALL outgoing emails. Why do we have to do this separately now? Or am I looking in the wrong place?

What you are referring to is a separate setting. In the new Outlook Settings, go to Mail > Compose and find the option Reply or Reply all. See the screen shot below. If you have further questions regarding this, please start your own thread. Use the Ask a question option.
Good luck.
