Gmail is probably my most used application online, it has so many useful features that I think anyone using email could benefit from.
One of the main reasons I like using Gmail is the protection it gives me against Spam coming into my account, but that is another post.
But to get to the point of why I wanted to write this post about how to send mail from Gmail from ANY email address, just follow along with the steps below.
The first thing you need to do after logging into your Gmail account is go to the settings tab located in the top right hand corner, it should be right next to the “Help” and “Sign Out” links at the very top of your screen.
After opening the settings page click on the “Accounts and Import” tab, this should be the second tab along.
Once this page opens click on the button with the text “Send mail from another address” after clicking on this button you will see a small “Pop up” window open up in your browser.
Fill in the details of the new Email account you want to add to Gmail.
Just follow the steps until you have finished verifying the new email address, it is very straight forward and there is no need for me to explain it, once you do it you will see what I mean
After you have completed the verification you need to go back to the “Accounts and Import” page and locate the new email address that you have just added, if you want to send all of your emails from this new address click on the “Make Default” link associated with it.
If you only want to send emails from this new account don’t do that last step.
To find out if this worked, just click on the “Compose Mail” link as if you were going to write an email, and if you made the new address your default you should see it in the “From” address bar, If you didn’t want to make your new email your default just click on the dropdown arrow and choose the email address you just added to send your email from.
