How-to: Sending messages from Churchillians.net with Hotmail
By configuring your mail client to send messages from your churchillians.net address, your recipients' software will address replies to your churchillians.net address (rather than to your 'real' address). This is important because they will add your churchillians.net address to their address books and will always use that address to reach you. They will have to do nothing, and probably will not even notice, if/when you change your 'real' address in future years!
- Log in to your Hotmail account
- Go to the options menu
- Under the 'Manage your account' heading, select 'Send and receive mail from other e-mail accounts'
- On the next screen click the 'add an address to send mail from' button and enter your churchillians.net email address when prompted.
- Click the 'send verification' button; an email will be sent to your Churchillians.net address and forwarded to the personal address linked to your Churchillians.net address (which might be this Hotmail address itself).
- You will receive a congratulations message. You will now be able to send and receive emails from both your Churchillians.net and Hotmail accounts by selecting the relevant address in the drop down list in the 'From' field of your new messages.
