Multiple From Addresses

The Send Mail As section in Zoho Mail enables you to send emails using various email addresses as your 'From' address. You can add your external email addresses to Zoho Mail in order to send emails from Zoho webmail.

Display Name - Outgoing Emails

The Display Name in the Send Mail As section for each 'From' email address/ email alias/ external From address is how your name appears on the outgoing emails sent using that particular email address. 

Steps to change Display Name

1. Login to Zoho Mail.
2. Select Settings >> Send Mail As.
3. Click the particular email address for which the Display Name should be changed.
4. In the 'Display Name' text box, provide the preferred Display Name.
   
5. You can also Add ReplyTo Email Address before authenticating a 'From' email address.
6. Click 'Update' to save the changes.
7. You may have to provide your external SMTP password, in case you are updating the Display name for an external 'From' address. 

Different 'From' Email Address

By default, your Zoho account's email address will be set as your 'From' address. You may also have email aliases or group aliases as 'From' address, in case your domain email is hosted with Zoho. You will not be able to delete the email aliases and group aliases from the 'Send Mail As' list.

Apart from that, the users can also set up their email addresses of various email service providers like Outlook, Gmail, etc., as External From addresses, to send emails using those addresses from Zoho Mail itself. It is strongly recommended to use custom SMTP server settings (SMTP details provided by the other provider) to send emails from Zoho Mail.

If you choose Zoho SMTP, you may be required to verify your email address through a verification process. Also using Zoho SMTP may result in 'On Behalf Of' being displayed with your Zoho Mail email address in external email clients like Outlook, Gmail etc.
