Send emails from a group address or alias

If you own another email address, you can send mail as that address. For example your work alias, like an additional email address you have for another operating company or a group email such as [email protected].

Step 1: Add an address you own

1. On your computer, open Gmail.
2. In the top right, click Settings  Settings.
3. Click the 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. Make sure "Treat as an alias" is checked.
   
6. Click Next Step.
   
7. If verification is needed, click "Send Verification" to have a code sent to the email you are trying to add. The code that is sent is a one-time use, so if it is going to a group email, it's best to let others in the group know that you're setting up an alias so they can ignore the message.

Step 2: Confirm the address

1. Sign in to the email account you added.
2. Open the confirmation message you got from Gmail.
3. Click the link or copy the confirmation code and enter it into the "Enter and verify the confirmation code" field and click Verify if prompted.

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.
