Step 7  Configuration of Mailbox  
You will need to add the "From:" field to new email messages that will be sent from the departmental mailbox hiding your name and making it appear as if the departmental mailbox is sending the message. First, you must have "Send As" permissions enabled for the mailbox.

To send mail from the departmental mailbox, follow the steps below:

  1. From the File menu, select New, then Mail Message.
  2. When the new message window opens, from the View menu, select From Field. In Outlook 2002 or 2003, if they have Word selected as their editor, expand the Options... dropdown and select From.
  3. In the new message window, in the "From..." field, enter the name of their department. Then compose and send the message as they would normally.

Once the "From:" field has been added to a message, it will appear in each new message that is created. To disable the "From:" field, simply repeat the steps above and deselect From Field or From.

The sent message will be stored in YOUR Sent Items folder, not in the departmental Sent Items folder. To move the sent message to the department's Sent Items folder, first open the department's mailbox in the folder list, then drag the sent message from your Sent Items folder and drop it in the department's Sent Items folder.
