How to Send from Rice Gmail Alias
This page will guide you through changing your sent-from email address in Rice Gmail. This will change the appearance of the email address in the 'from' field on sent emails. One recommended use for this feature is making a more professional alias than the standard NetID@rice.edu format, for example, FirstnameLastname@rice.edu.
Use the following steps to add your sent-from email address in Rice Gmail.
- Login to your Rice Gmail account at http://mail.google.com/. Click the Gear icon in the upper right corner. Select See all settings.
2. Select Accounts and Import. Navigate to the Send mail as section. Select Add another email address.
3. Select Add another email address you own and another window will pop up. Type in the alias address and select the Next Step button.
4. Send yourself a Verification message.
5. Click the link inside the email when the verification message arrives.
- This allows you to confirm your email alias and you'll get a confirmation screen like this:
- Log back into your Rice Gmail account and select the Settings icon. Return to the Accounts and Import settings. You will see your alias and your NetID addresses.
