"Send As" using personal mailbox from Outlook 2010 in an Exchange 2007 environment

I use Outlook 2010 at work, where we have an Exchange 2007 server.  In addition to my work email address (my account on the server), I also use Outlook to send and receive IMAP/SMTP emails from my personal accounts.

I have seen several posts about configuring Exchange to "Send As" or "Send on behalf of" for emails in the domain, but what I want to do is configure the personal IMAP accounts to be able to send out mail from my personal accounts using "Send As".

I am thinking that somehow I would only need to configure Outlook on my PC for this to work.

Any ideas?  Steps and screenshots would be most helpful as well.

Thanks very much!

Make a new Outlook Profile for the IMAP account (delete the current one if you have one). Make sure the Exchange Profile and the IMAP profile are different Outlook Profiles

Now set up the IMAP account using the IMAP settings, ports and your correct user name and email address.

Then it will go out as you. At least it does for me. If you are using a different email address than your true IMAP address, it will say "on behalf of"

Thanks John.  My IMAP personal email already works fine.  For example I can already send email as

my_name@my_email.me

But what I want to do is find the place where I can provide the SMTP credentials so that I can ALSO send email as

my_other_name@my_email.me (same domain) There is NO ACTUAL REAL EMAIL ACCOUNT for my_other_name.  I just want to be able to send using that name.  (Incoming emails to that address are stored in folders of my_name account)

I don't see a place where I can provide those SMTP credentials for the "Send As" address...
In Outlook, "Send" As is the email address, and Logon information is the real address. Authenticate this in Outgoing Server.

My ISP is not known, my Email address is known, I send out as my Email address and replies and incoming mail comes to my Inbox as Email address and is seen by others as Email address.

I think you can do what you want this way. I do.

I guess I need to know where to authenticate the SMTP settings in the "Outgoing server".  Are the settings somewhere in my Outlook Profile or at the Exchange server (even though it is not an email address in the Exchange domain...)

 When I try Sending As now, I get back the following email from "Microsoft Exchange":

Delivery has failed to these recipients or distribution lists:

You are not allowed to send this message because you are trying to send on behalf of another sender without permission to do so. Please verify that you are sending on behalf of the correct sender, or ask your system administrator to help you get the required permission.


Funny thing is... I can do exactly what I am trying to do from this account already on another account and it works fine!  I just can't figure out where I put the settings to make it work!

Authentication and SMTP services are different. SMTP is addressing and ports.

Look here in Outlook accounts for the Outgoing Server Authentication.

Thanks John.  That is exactly what my settings are for my_name@my_email.me.  The problem is that I am sending from my_other_name@my_email.me.  I don't know where to tell Outlook to use the credentials of my_email.me when I send from my_other_email.me.
I am not sure what your underlying issue is. Here are the Account settings. There are no other settings, so what different from what exists are you trying to enter?

thanks for sticking with me, John.

I am trying to send an email from an account "alias".  There is NO EMAIL ACCOUNT for the email address that I am using. I want to send that email using an account that actually does exist, and is properly configured.  So basically I have a real account:

my_real_email_address@me.com

from which I want to send emails with addresses like:

my_alias_email_address_that _I use_for_woodworking@me.com
my_alias_email_address_that _I use_for_research@me.com
my_alias_email_address_that _I use_for_cooking@me.com
my_alias_email_address_that _I use_for_subscriptions@me.com
my_alias_email_address_that _I use_for_online_orders@me.com
etc...

And.... I am doing all this from Outlook 2010, but the email leaves our office via an Exchange 2007 server...

I have three personal IMAP accounts.  One of them is already doing this fine.  So you think that the settings that are allowing it to work properly are on the Exchange server?
If you remake the IMAP Profile in Outlook (Control Panel, Mail), it should not have anything to do with Exchange. Separate Outlook profiles do not interfere with each other.
