Go to Account Settings -> Account Aliases -> Add an Alias.You may also want to use an existing Gmail account to become alias of your professional outlook account. Note that you can’t change the primary email address but can add several aliases to a single account. You can create a new alias of Outlook, Hotmail or Live domain. This means that you can use single Microsoft Outlook account to send/receive emails using two different identities.

However, you can send/receive emails using any of the email address. Both the email addresses share the same inbox, contacts and the account settings. Similarly, an account alias is a dubbed identity of any primary email address. The literal meaning of ‘alias’ is ‘false or assumed identity’. You can connect your Gmail account with the Microsoft Outlook in two ways either create an alias or import your email account. It seems that Microsoft was already aware of the success of Outlook and so an option is provided to manage multiple accounts from single Outlook account. But what if you have a Gmail account too and want to use only the Outlook interface? It goes without saying that if you want to use Microsoft Outlook, sign up and create an account for yourself.
