Gmail lets you send messages with another of your email addresses listed as the sender instead of your Gmail address.
This feature helps you manage multiple accounts from the Gmail interface; it works only if you already own the email account linked to the alternate address.
To send mail from a different Gmail username, you'll first need to sign up for that address.
- Sign in to Gmail.
- Click the gear icon in the upper-right and select Gmail settings and select the Accounts and Import tab.
- Under Send mail as, click Add another email address.
- In the 'Email address' field, enter your name and alternate email address.
- Choose one of two options:
- Use Gmail's servers to send your mail (this is easier to set up)
- Use your other email provider's SMTP servers (we recommend this option for professional mail accounts or domains).
If you choose to use Gmail's servers:
6. Click Next Step >> and then click Send Verification. Gmail will send a verification message to your other email address to confirm that you own it.
7. Open your other account and either click the link in the message Gmail sent or enter the confirmation code in the Accounts section of your Gmail settings.
If Gmail sends a verification email and you didn't receive the it, the message was probably caught by a spam or bulk mail filter in your recovery email system. Try checking your Spam or Bulk Mail folders for a message fromaccount-verification-noreply@google.com to see if the email ended up in there.
