Sending email as you@yourdomain.co.tz from GMail

Sending email from your own domain using GMail

mail 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.

Login to your GMail account:

1. Click the gear icon in the upper right, then select Settings.
2. Select the Accounts and Import tab (or Accounts tab, if you're using Google Apps).
3. Under Send mail as, click Add another email address.
4. In the 'Email address' field, enter your name and alternate email address.
5. Choose one of two options:
   • Use Gmail's servers to send your mail (this is easier to set up)(We recommend this option)
     
   • Use Advertising Africa's SMTP servers (we do not recommend this option while using GMail to manage your emails).

If you choose to use Gmail's servers:

6. Click Next Step >> and then click Send Verification. Gmail will send a verification message to your other email address to confirm that you own it.
7. Open your other account and either click the link in the message Gmail sent or enter the confirmation code in the Accounts section of your Gmail settings.

If Gmail sends a verification email and you didn't receive the it, the message was probably caught by a spam or bulk mail filter in your recovery email system. 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.

Your Gmail address will still be included in your email header's sender field, to help prevent your mail from being marked as spam. Most email clients don't display the sender field, though some versions of Microsoft Outlook may display "From yourusername@gmail.com on behalf of customaddress@mydomain.co.tz." For this reason, if you don't want 'on behalf of' to appear in any of your messages, we recommend using the SMTP servers of Advertising Africa.

If you choose to send mail through Advertising Africa's SMTP servers:

6. Enter the SMTP server (you can find this in your welcome email which you received on signing up for a hosting account with Advertising Africa), your username on that domain, and your password for that account.
7. Click Add account >>
8. Open your other account and either click the link in the message Gmail sent or enter the confirmation code in the Accounts section of your Gmail settings.

 

To use one of your alternate sender addresses, just pick an address from the drop-down menu in the 'From:' field when you compose a message. If you're replying or forwarding to a message, click 'change' next to the 'From:' field. You can also choose to automatically use the address to which a message was sent.

To edit the name, configuration or reply-to address for an existing entry, click edit next to the address on your Accounts tab. To delete an address, just click delete.

Note for IMAP/POP users: If you access Gmail through a POP or IMAP email client (e.g. Outlook) and would like to send messages with a custom "from" address, you have two options. We recommend that you configure your email client with two outgoing SMTP servers, one for Gmail and one for your other address. Or, you can use Gmail's outbound servers with a different "from" address. If you've already configured the alternate address, your message will be sent from:otheraddress@domain.co.tz, sender:username@gmail.com, regardless of which custom from configuration you chose.
