How to change From email address using MicrosoftOutlookMail connector?
Hi,
We are using MicrosoftOutlookMail connector to send the emails. We have a requirement to change from address of the email. Can we achieve this by using MicrosoftOutlookMail connector? If not, do we have any other connectors to change the from address?
Thanks in Advance!!

Hi Srinivas,
Thanks for posting your question on PSC.
You will likely have to configure Outlook on the machine to use another account if you want to use the Outlook Connector.
You should be able to use the methods and properties from the outlook connector to get what you need.

You can also use the SMTP component to send email. It has a property allowing you to specify a from name and from address. Your network must allow SMTP, but usually this is enabled. You will need to get your SMTP server name and port number from your admin (port is usually 25). In addition, you need to know if authentication is required. If not (most common), you will leave the user and password blank.
The SMTP Component should be on the Connectors tab in your Toolbox. If not, you can add it from the OpenSpan.Controls assembly.
1. Right-click on the Connectors tab in the Toolbox.
2. Select Choose Items
3. On the .Net Framework Components tab, you should be able to enter "SMTP" into the filter box.
4. If it is unchecked, go ahead and check it, and it should appear on your Toolbox.
Hope this helps.
