Gmail lets you send messages with another of your email addresses listed as the sender instead of your Gmail address. This feature helps you manage multiple accounts from the Gmail interface; it works only if you already own the email account linked to the alternate address. This means you can send emails from you@schuitema.co.za even from your personal gmail address you@gmail.com.

Step 1:

Click the gear in the top right.
Select Settings.

Step 2:

Click the Accounts and Import tab.
Under Send mail as, click Add another email address.

Step 3:

In the ‘Email address’ field, enter your name and alternate email address you own.
Uncheck “Treat as an alias”.
Click Next Step >>

Step 4:

Enter the SMTP server: smtp.googlemail.com
Enter your username on that domain which is your full email address.
Enter the password for your account.
Change the Port to 465.
Click Add Account >>

Step 5:

Gmail will now send a verification email to your schuitema.co.za email. Go to your schuitema.co.za inbox and either click the link in the message Gmail sent or enter the confirmation code in the Accounts and Import section of your Gmail settings.

If Gmail sent a verification email and you didn’t receive it, try checking your Spam or Bulk Mail folders for a message from account-verification-noreply@google.com to see if the email ended up in there.

Step 6:

Once you’re set up, here’s how to send mail

To send mail from your Schuitema email, click the From link when you compose a new message. If you’re replying to or forwarding a message, click the field where your recipients are listed, then click From. After clicking From, you’ll see a drop-down menu next to your address, where you can select the email address you’d like to send from.

If you ever need to edit the name, configuration or reply-to address, go back to your settings. Click edit next to the address on your Accounts tab. To delete an address, just click delete.

Step 7:

To make your company email the default email when replying or composing a new message, go back to Settings > Accounts and Import and click on Make Default for your Schuitema email.

Step 8:

You can also choose your default reply behavior to either reply from the same address that the message was sent to, or reply using a default address.

Open Gmail.
Click the gear in the top right .
Select Settings.
Open the Accounts tab.
In the “Send mail as” section, choose your setting under “When replying to a message.”

Congratulations! You will now be able to send company emails from Gmail.
