How do I change the FROM email address in Openwebmail?
An alias only affects incoming mail. What the remote user sees as the user’s “From” address is a function of the program used to send the email. For Openwebmail (webmail.louisiana.edu)the user can set the outgoing email address by going to the “User Preferences” (the little grear). There they can set the “From” address. First, click on the small envelopes to the right of the From input box. This brings you to the “Edit Personal Email Addresses” screen. Fill in the “Real Name and Email Address” fields with the information that the user wants to be contained in their out-going email. Then click “Add/Modify”. Click on the little folder at the top of the screen to get back to the previous page. Then use the drop down menu for the “From” field to select the information just entered. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click “Save”.
