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
Tip: You can send emails from up to 99 different email addresses.
Step 1: Add an address you own
- On your computer, open Gmail.
- In the top right, click Settings
See all 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.
- 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.
- Open the confirmation message you got from Gmail.
- Click 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.
"Couldn't reach server," "TLS Negotiation failed" error
If you see one of these error messages, you might need to select a different port number and authentication type. Make sure you have used the correct outgoing mail server for your provider. You might need to contact your third party email provider for the correct settings.
