During the sending process, you have the option to Change your Sender Details. If you will be sending numerous emails from the same person or mailbox, you can update your Default Sender Details. This means you won't need to change your sender details for each individual send. (If you have not set the Default Sender Details, your own name and email address will appear) When you send an email, the Send Wizard will ask you to check the Sender Details for that email. You can use the Default Sender Details that appear, or change the sender details based on your preference; you can even Personalise the Sender Details.
