CHANGE THE “FROM” ADDRESS IN YOUR PRIMARY GMAIL ACCOUNT

Now that you have added your other email addresses, or aliases, you may want to send emails from your Gmail account using a different “from” address.

Change your settings by clicking on the “From” line in your message. Your display settings may not have this option. If you don’t see it, you can also try clicking around the space after the recipient’s email address.

Select the alternate address you want to send from.

CREATING A NEW GMAIL ALIAS

If you don’t have a Gmail alias, you can create one. There are a couple of ways to go about this.

PERMANENT

To add a permanent Gmail alias, you need to either have other email addresses of your own from another email service, or create multiple Google accounts, each with its own email address.

Google does not let you create multiple email addresses per account. You only get one primary email address per user account. So, if you want one for business purposes you may need to create a separate Google account to receive a new primary address. Especially if you don’t want to use Gmail’s business email.

Want to read your emails in one inbox? Linking your other alias accounts is easy. Just go to Settings and click on the Accounts and Imports tab. From there, scroll down until you see “Check mail from other accounts” and click on the “Add a mail account” link.

TEMPORARY

If you need temporary Gmail aliases, however, you can try the “+” email trick. It’s simple and virtually limitless.
