Office 365 and head@ style addresses

[djones]

I have setup each user with their first initial and surname username e.g. "[email protected]" in order to keep everything the same in terms of how people log into different systems. However, I need to be able to assign "[email protected]" to the Head (obviously!) but cannot work out how to do so that she logs in with jbloggs@ but emails are sent to and from head@. How have you set this up and is there a way I can do what I want?

 

Thanks,

 

Dave

 

P.S. I already have office@ as a shared mailbox with the relevant people assigned FullAccess and SendAs but don't think this is appropriate for the head@ address specifically.

Yeah, tried that. Unfortunately, I cannot select the new address as the primary without changing the login details too. When I try to enter head@ in the From field it just gets replaced with the normal username (jbloggs@) instead when sent.

Found it! Running this PowerShell command did the trick:

 

Set-Mailbox jbloggs -EmailAddresses SMTP:[email protected], [email protected]

 

I hope it helps someone else.
