If you own another email address, you can send mail as that address. For example:
- Yahoo, Outlook, or other non-Gmail address
- Your work, school, or business domain or alias, like @yourschool.edu or youralias@gmail.com
- Another Gmail address
Step 1: Add an address you own
- On your computer, open Gmail.
- In the top right, click Settings
Settings.
- Click the Accounts and import or Accounts tab.
- In the "Send mail as" section, click Add another email address.
- Enter your name and the address you want to send from.
- If you want the From Address to appear as though it were sent from the new address, uncheck 'Treat as an alias'.
- Click Next Step
Send verification.
- For school or work accounts, enter the SMTP server (for example, smtp.gmail.com or smtp.yourschool.edu) and the username and password on that account.
- Click Add Account.
Step 2: Confirm the address
- Sign in to the account you added or if you are member of a group account being added, check your inbox.
- Open the confirmation message you got from Gmail.
- Enter the Verification Code or click on the link.
Step 3: Change the "From" address
- In the message, click the "From" line.
(If you don't see this, click the space next to the recipient's email.) - Select the address to send from.
Always send from a different address
If you want to always send from your other address, you'll need to change both your default "From" and "reply-to" address. If you only change the "From" address, replies will go to your original Gmail address by default.
To always send email from a different address or alias:
- On your computer, open Gmail.
- In the top right, click Settings
Settings.
- Click the Accounts and import or Accounts tab.
- In the "Send mail as" section to the right of the address you want to use, click Make default.
When you send a message, replies will go to your original Gmail address by default. To choose a different address, follow these steps.
- On your computer, open Gmail.
- In the top right, click Settings
Settings.
- Click the Accounts and Import or Accounts tab.
- In the "Send mail as" section, click Edit info next to your email address.
- Click Specify a different "reply to" address.
