I'd like to remove the "on behalf of" from my emails in Outlook 2010. It appears when I use the from drop down while sending an email:
When I send an email from the address the outlook profile was created with, it will appear as this:
Name
however when I use the from option, it will appear as this:
Name < Name@Example.com > on behalf of OtherEmail@Example.com
Often I use this other email adress(s) to hide my main one to protect from spammers (I dispose of the address after the fact), but this foils the plan.
My research shows that most people create multiple outlook profiles, but in my case that would require too many profiles and too much work. I just wan't to remove this part of the header, without complicating my setup:
Name < Name@Example.com > on behalf of OtherEmail@Example.com
This is not a duplicate of this: Hide email adress of sender when sending on behalf of, the accepted answer won't work here, and the question is much much vaguer then this one.

That is much better! I will remove my comments to reduce clutter in the comments. – CharlieRB – 2015-04-07T15:58:51.397
This article points to an add-in to Outlook that supposedly solves the problem.

According to a comment on the article : "you have to install the Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Tools for Office Runtime. Once I installed that then the add-on worked."

– Vinayak – 2015-04-10T20:21:29.723Another idea is to delete your name from the account, leaving only your email address. Without a name, Outlook might not have enough information to write that header. – harrymc – 2015-04-10T20:29:07.027
Tried that.... failed... – GiantCowFilms – 2015-04-10T21:12:56.293
@harrymc I'll have to try that – GiantCowFilms – 2015-04-10T21:14:49.540
@Vinayak Thanks, but I'm not using gmail – GiantCowFilms – 2015-04-10T21:15:00.143
@harrymc I installed MVS 2012 for Office, and still no luck... :/ – GiantCowFilms – 2015-04-10T22:52:12.327
I think that what you want is only possible when using an Exchange server or Active Directory. Otherwise, if that header is a big headache, use another email client such as Thunderbird, or use Gmail. – harrymc – 2015-04-11T15:10:02.990
@harrymc Okay :/ – GiantCowFilms – 2015-04-11T15:11:20.233
