Introduction
Gmail's "Send mail as" feature allows you to send email messages as another email address.
UAH students, faculty, and staff can use this feature to send mail from their email alias.
If you are responsible for a Google Group, this feature allows you to send mail from the Group's email address.
Steps
Follow the steps below to add a "Send mail as" address for your UAH account.
- On a web browser, visit mail.uah.edu and sign in with your UAH email account
- Click the cog () icon, then See all settings
- On the Accounts tab, select Add another email address
- In the pop-up window, enter the display name you'd like to use when sending emails and the email address you want to send from. Review Google's guide to decide whether to treat the address as an alias. Then, click Next step
- You may be required to verify that you own the address. If so, a verification link will be sent to the email address you want to add

After verification, you will be able to send mail as the defined email address.
When composing new email messages, you'll have the option to select which email address you'd like to send from.
Optionally, you can choose to make one of your "Send mail as" addresses the defualt From: address used when drafting email messages as well as specify which address email replies should be sent from.
