PLEASE - can some explain - very simply - how I can get rid of the "on behalf
of" that appears on my emails? I have a primary email address (ex:
(e-mail address removed) and I have a secondary email address (ex: (e-mail address removed)) and when I
sent from XYZ, it displays my primary email address on behalf of my XYZ email
address. This is happing at a home computer, not a company computer. I send
my sincerest thanks for any help.

You're changing the From field when you send a message. Don't. That's not
how you send from another account. Use the Accounts button instead.

Hi Brian - How do I do that?? I need an "idiot" step-by-step process ...
(believe it or not that type of documentation was my forte at my previous
job!) :0) Sometimes people with immense knowlege forget how people without
experience in the subject know. I thank you so much for helping me as I'm
trying to start my own small business. Thank you!

FIGURED IT OUT!!! :0)
When you open a new Outlook message, next to the "Send" button at the top,
there is an "Accounts" button. If you click that button you will get a
drop-down list which shows your email accounts. Select the one that is using
the email address you want to send from. I've tested it and it works great -
no more "on behalf of" showing in the from fields! Thank you Brian Tillman.

You're welcome.
