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.

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

- 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
