Use your own email address with GMail

I’ve been using GMail as my primary mail client for some time now and have walked a number of people through these steps. For these steps to work, you will need to be able to have your email address (ie. yourname@yourdomain.com) directed to your GMail box (yourname@gmail.com).

  1. Log in to GMail
  2. Click Settings
    gmail-click-settings
  3. Click Accounts
    gmail-click-accounts
  4. Click Add Another Email Address
    gmail-click-add-another-email-address
  5. Enter your Name and Email Address
    gmail-enter-your-email-address
  6. Click Send Verification
    GMail - Send Verification
  7. Verify your email address
    gmail-verify
  8. (Optional) You can set this email address to be your default within GMail on the Accounts page by clicking make default.
    gmail-make-email-address-default-small
  9. (Optional) You can also change your Reply-To settings to use your default email address or to use whichever one the original email was sent to. I have mine set to use the original.
    gmail-reply-settings

Hope that helps. Contact me if you have any questions on this.

Thanks!
