You can do it even from outlook express, need an SMTP server, or make your pc smtp.

As told by The Unknown, change your email address in account properties
To make you PC smtp, search google for smtp servers, there are many softwares download and install. Your PC will work as SMTP. In SMTP field of your outlook express use localhost.

You can send emails from your PC, but chances are your email will be either rejected by other servers or will go in spam folder because of strong spam filters many webmail provider use.

However there are another methods through which you can increase the probability of reaching email to inbox.

Another method is signup for a POP/SMTP mail service (like Gmail) and set any fake email address. Send email!

Yes, you can not send email from fake id, using gmail or many other smtp servers. You have to prove tht you are owner of tht id in gmail. In other smtp server they relay email from approved id only.

Guys .. It is possible to send EMail with out having any account what so ever . I do it all the time

. Sending mail without actually having a account is a pice of cake in .NET

Are baba!! In the email account properties, a field titled "Email Address" is there where you can set your desired fake email address!

See this image:

In this image, The_Unknown@thinkdigit.com is an invalid email address. If i send an mail to someone, the mail will be sent by The_Unknown@thinkdigit.com !

No email will not go if you will use gmail smtp, it will be rejected.

You can send depends upon which SMTP server you are using. Can you confirm that you can send email using gmail SMTP from fake from id.

I guess in Gmail thats impossible as they got really strong Email Filters which is why I just love it

Yes, once using GMAIL only. At that time, GMAIL was not open to all (invitation system).

You cannot use Gmail SMTP. It requires authentication and not a open SMTP server

You are not understand what i am saying. In my client, when i set MY fake mail address (which is neither part of SMTP or POP), the client will send email as the set email address. SMTP and POP settings are the same which enable it to send. Understand?
