- Choose Accounts and Send Mail as:
- Select "Add another email address you own" and another window will pop up where you type in the alias address and select the Next Step button.
- Send yourself a Verification message.
- When the Verification message arrives, click the link inside.

- Log back into your Rice Gmail account and select the Settings (Gear) icon, then go to Account and Settings, you'll see your alias and your NetID addresses.
