Set Your Default Email Address

You can set up your email to default to any account you have permission to send from (your alias@cornell.edu, an Exchange group account, etc).

This article applies to: Cornell Optional Email Alias

If you have an email alias, exchange group account, or you send on behalf of another individual, you can choose which of these addresses to default in the From and Reply-to fields of your Office 365 email client. 

To make this change:

  1. Go to whoiam.cornell.edu.
  2. Click the Email tab.
  3. Look for the section labeled Primary email address. (If you don’t see your alias listed here, this means that you don’t have an alias, or you recently requested an alias but haven’t yet received the “it’s ready to use” confirmation.)
  4. Select the address you want to use as your default "From" address.
  5. Click Update.
