What is a Proxy Address?
A Proxy Address is an additional email for your Primary Mailbox that you receive mail at, but have historically not been able to send from. With this feature enhancement, this is now possible. A good example of this is how in our consolidated Microsoft 365 environment, you may have affiliations with more than one system campus. Now, you are able to send as either address, not just your primary.
How to Choose Proxies to Automatically Show as Options
Navigate to Exchange Online, and then follow these steps:
- Click the cog wheel in the upper right of your browser.
- Click "View all Outlook Settings" on the bottom of the pop out window.
- Choose "Mail - Compose and reply". Scroll halfway down to the "Addresses to send from" header.
- Here, you will see values that you can choose from to automatically include in your "From" address.
PLEASE NOTE: The proxy addresses shown are controlled by your affiliation with the University System of New Hampshire. If there are questions on why you do or do not have an address you think you should have, contact your HR department (Employees) or University Registrar's Office (Students)
