How to Set Default From Address in Outlook for Windows
You set the default “From” address in the new Outlook for Windows to control which of your email accounts sends messages by default.
This feature ensures that when you compose a new email, the sender address is automatically populated with your preferred account, saving you time and preventing accidental sends from the wrong address.
The new Outlook, which supports accounts like Microsoft 365, Outlook.com, Hotmail, and Gmail, allows you to easily manage this setting.
To change your default sending address, you simply navigate to Account Settings within the Outlook application.
