I am just looking into potentially using Exchange online as I need the ability to sync email and calendars across multiple devices.
My setup is a pretty common [business] scenario that is supported well in Outlook, but I cannot find any information on whether it can be achieved in Exchange.
I have a number of mail accounts - to make it easier, we'll call them Hotmail, GMail, Yahoo as people are familiar with this. On outlook I receive all my email via POP into one mailbox and I can see which account the mail was retrieved from. There are two reasons for doing this, 1) there isn't enough screen real-estate to support multiple mailboxes in outlook and its a pain to work this way. 2) (and most importantly) Outlook supports being able to set the account each email is sent from when sending email.
This means I can send and receive email using GMail and use a unique signature and reply to address in the email that the user receives. For all intensive purposes for the user it looks like I have logged into GMail and sent the email from there. This applies for all my other accounts.
Now I know Exchange Online supports 'connected accounts' where I can have (as far as I can see) up to 5 accounts that I receive email from. The issue that I am trying to work out, is how do I send email using unique sent-from accounts (sending email through the email providers SMTP server is what stamps the reply-to and sent-from mail addresses) so that the user sees the correct "from" email address and signature (I don't want them to see my exchange one).
