Outlook does NOT allow you to fill in the "From" field arbitrarily. 
Outlook allows you to set up different personalities ("mail accounts"),
and you can specify which personality to use when you create a message.

MAPI is an extremely limited API.  It uses whatever the default
personality is in the Outlook session it hooks up to.  You can't
override it.  It is, in part, an anti-spam measure.
