New GMail Feature: “Send mail as”

August 23rd, 2005

I just got a new feature on my GMail account called ‘Send mail as’.

GMail Options

You can add new addresses from which you can send email from. Google does this simply by changing the From: header send with the email. It’s useful for example for sending emails from work or school addresses or even a spamproofed GMail account address.

Unlike some programs however, GMail does require you to verify that you own the address.

The process of adding a new address to send from:

You’ll have to confirm you own the e-mail address:

You can then send emails from another address using a drop down box.

A nice new feature :)

    You really need to apply the blur for a lot longer :) .

    I recommend you use Adobe Photoshop® for all of your address bluring needs.

    Yes. Certainly. But, a legal, unmodified, uncracked version is reccomended.

    Oh no, must obfuscate my email as much as possible, someone might send me a message!
