google-gmail-address

If you are not new to the Internet industry I guess that you should already have many different online accounts with different email services, such as Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook, etc.

Sometimes when people move to Gmail they may still want to send emails using their old address for some reasons. It may be the case when a person wants to use both his personal and work Google accounts without having to be logged into both of them at the same time with multiple browser tabs and other inconveniences. Or, alternatively, a person just can’t let go his old address because he keeps some important information there which he can’t or don’t want to migrate to his Google Gmail account.

Whichever the reason, if it sounds familiar to you, see some guides how you can send emails from a different account in Gmail in the article below.

Ste 1. In your Gmail account click on the gear icon in the top right corner and choose Settings:
