Common Email Programs
Most Internet Service Providers (ISPs) will allow you to use a different "From" address in your email software as long as you use the ISPs outgoing mail server settings. If you encounter any errors when trying to send email with your hover forwarding address, you will need to contact your Internet Service Provider to find out if they block email spoofing.
Below, you will find step-by-step instructions on how to change the from address in common POP/IMAP email programs:
