How to Add an Additional Sending Address in TAMU Gmail

Summary

Instructions for adding an alternate email address to send emails from within TAMU Gmail.

Body

Introduction

Your Texas A&M Gmail account is your_netid@email.tamu.edu. However due to the technical limitations of Google Apps for Education the default sending address for Texas A&M Gmail accounts is your_netid@tamu.edu. This is fine if your published email address (your_netid@tamu.edu) is forwarding email to your_netid@email.tamu.edu, but if your published email address is set to forward elsewhere you will need to update your sending address from within Texas A&M Gmail. You can verify the forwarding settings for your published email address on the Aggie Account Gateway Email Settings page. This document will explain how to add your_netid@email.tamu.edu as a sending address and set it as the default address in Texas A&M Gmail.
