Send from a specific account in Outlook for Web (Outlook online)
When you create a new message, you can choose which email address to use to send it in the From field (see how to display this field if you need to or customize Outlook always to display this field for outgoing messages).
Send from a specific account in Outlook for Web
If you have more than one e-mail account connected to Outlook for Web or have permission to send messages from a different address, use the From field when you compose a message, reply to a message, or forward a message. The active account appears to the right of the From field:

Click the From button and select the account from which you want to send the message. You can also type the address or select it from the Suggested contacts (to display them, select the Other email address... item from the From dropdown list) if you have permission to send emails from that account.
Display the From field for the messages
