Option 1: Send emails from a different address or alias via Gmail

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 aliases, like @yourschool.edu or youralias@gmail.com
  • Another Gmail address or Google Group

Step 1: Add an address you own

  1. On your computer, open Gmail.
  2. In the top right, click Settings Settings and then Settings.
  3. Click the Accounts and import or Accounts tab.
  4. In the "Send mail as" section, click Add another email address.
  5. Enter your name and the address you want to send from.
  6. Click Next Step and then Send verification.
  7. Click Add Account.

Step 2: Confirm the address

  1. Sign in to the account you added.
  2. Open the confirmation message you got from Gmail.
  3. Click the link.

Step 3: Change the "From" address

  1. In the message, click the "From" line.
    (If you don't see this, click the space next to the recipient's email.)
  2. Select the address to send from.

Step 4: 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.

Change default "From" address

To always send email from a different address or alias:

  1. On your computer, open Gmail.
  2. In the top right, click Settings Settings and then Settings.
  3. Click the Accounts and import or Accounts tab.
  4. In the "Send mail as" section to the right of the address you want to use, click Make default.
Change default "reply-to" address

 

When you send a message, replies will go to your original Gmail address by default. To choose a different address, follow these steps.

  1. On your computer, open Gmail.
  2. In the top right, click Settings Settings and then Settings.
  3. Click the Accounts and Import or Accounts tab.
  4. In the "Send mail as" section, click Edit info next to your email address.
  5. Click Specify a different "reply to" address.
  6. Add a reply-to address.
  7. If necessary, click Next Step.
  8. Click Save Changes.

Step 5: Send from a work or school group alias

If you use Gmail with your work or school account, you can send from a group alias. To receive the verification email to send from a group alias, you need to give delegates access to the group.

You'll need access to the group's permissions to change access for other members.

  1. Open Google Groups.
  2. Click My groups.
  3. Under the group name you want to send from, click Manage.
  4. On the left, click Permissions and then Posting permissions.
  5. In the "Post" section, click the Down arrow Down Arrow.
  6. Select All members of the group.
  7. Click Save.

 

You will first need to go through the process to authorize your account to send on behalf of this group. All groups require that you either are the owner or manager or the group to be allowed to do this:

 

Option 2: Sending an email on behalf of a google group you are set up to use:

 

1. Open the group from which you want to send the email and select New Topic
