How to send mail form alias email in google domains
To send mail from an alias email address in Google Domains, you'll need to set up a few things. Here's a step-by-step guide:
Prerequisites:
- You have a Google Domains account and have registered a domain name.
- You have set up a Gmail account (e.g., [yourname]@gmail.com) that you'll use as the "forwarding" email address.
Step 1: Create an alias email address
- Log in to your Google Domains account.
- Go to the "Domains" tab and select the domain you want to manage.
- Click on "Settings" (gear icon) and then "Email" from the dropdown menu.
- Click on "Create alias" and enter the alias email address you want to create (e.g., [info]@yourdomain.com).
- Click "Create" to create the alias.
Step 2: Set up email forwarding
- Log in to your Gmail account (e.g., [yourname]@gmail.com).
- Go to the "Settings" icon (gear icon) and then "See all settings".
- Click on the "Forwarding and POP/IMAP" tab.
- Click on "Add a forwarding address" and enter the alias email address you created in Step 1 (e.g., [info]@yourdomain.com).
- Click "Next" and then "Add" to add the forwarding address.
Step 3: Verify the forwarding address
- Go back to your Google Domains account and click on the "Settings" (gear icon) and then "Email" from the dropdown menu.
- Click on the "Verify" button next to the alias email address you created in Step 1.
- Follow the instructions to verify the forwarding address. You may need to send a verification email to the alias email address and then click on the verification link in the email.
Step 4: Test the alias email address
- Send an email to the alias email address (e.g., [info]@yourdomain.com).
- Check your Gmail account (e.g., [yourname]@gmail.com) to see if the email was forwarded successfully.
That's it! Your alias email address should now be set up and forwarding emails to your Gmail account.
