If you are on a departmental mailing list and need to send messages from that list’s address in Gmail, you will need to set the address up as a "Send Mail As" account.

  1. In Gmail, open Settings from the gear menu.    

  2. Choose the Accounts tab

    Gmail Settings menu, with the Accounts tab open. Here, we can see options to Send Mail As either my user account or a delegated account I have access to. I have the options to Make Default, Edit Info, or Delete each email. I can also Add Another Email Address here.

     

  3. Click Add another email address. Enter a descriptive official name for the account and the email address. Keep Treat as an alias checked.

     

  4. You will be asked to send a verification email. Click Send Verification.

     

  5. The verification email will be sent to the list.    Check your inbox for the email containing the confirmation code.

  6. Enter the confirmation code on the confirmation window.

     

  7. Now when composing an email, you will have the option to change the "From" address to the alternate email address.
