The fact you fail to point out that you have to format the alias (existing add + alias + @gmail.com), identifies the article as a far from rare example of pitiful instructions that fail in their primary function, showing folk how to do things. From day one, so often my hopeless inadequacy with regards to pc use is compounded by inaccurate, incomplete, incomprehensible, or whatever the failing may be, instructions/guides that do absolutely nothing to temper my ignorance. I suggest more consideration be given to the objective of writing the piece + to try to make sure the intended knowledge is actually passed on, which in this case, sadly, it isn’t.I hope you’re able to accept criticism, which I feel is surely justified + not an attack of any sort towards any person. My motivation for commenting is solely the wish for an improvement in the resources I’ve described, no other reason.I’d like to finish by adding that I’m familiar with criticism concerning the need to do better, I’m vastly experienced, in fact, my wealth having been bestowed upon me by my ex-wife!!!!
When you add another address to your Gmail account for sending messages, Gmail typically treats it the same as your original Gmail address (as an alias for that address). But if you’re sending on behalf of another user, you might want to uncheck the Treat as an alias box.You can check or uncheck the box when you. Or change the setting later by going to Gmail settings. Send and receive messages in my Gmail inboxCheck the Treat as an alias box.Example: You own 2 email addresses. You want mail sent to either address to arrive in the same Gmail inbox. When you send mail, you choose which address to send from. Recipients see that the mail came from whichever address you choose.
Send on behalf of another user or accountUncheck Treat as an alias.Example: You manage 2 email addresses in separate accounts or mail systems. You sign in to each account separately to read its messages. But you want the convenience of sending mail as either address, from your Gmail account.If you uncheck the box:. Messages sent to the address you're adding don’t appear in your current Gmail Inbox. Instead, you need to sign in to another account or mail system to receive the messages. The other account must be able to get mail at this address.
Replying to messages from the other address adds that address to the To: field.Send from a group mailing listCheck Treat as an alias.Example: You use Gmail at work or school and belong to a group mailing list. In addition to receiving group posts in your Gmail inbox, you want to send messages using the group address. You can add the group address as a sending address and leave the box checked.
On an average, a person receives around 121 emails every day, out of which 10% are useful, while 90% of it is just spam. Modern day email services claim to have state of the art spam filters but we still end up with a few unnecessary emails in our Inbox. This primarily happens because we tend to use our email IDs on various websites, either to use some services or for login purposes. While you might have entered your email address for one-time usage, the websites will make sure to send you newsletters and promotional emails.
While you can use disposable emails for such services, the services that offer disposable email IDs mostly offer weird email addresses, which are often blacklisted by websites and the good ones that are available are mostly not free.The good news is, there’s another way. You can use email aliases, which is a built-in feature in popular email services like Gmail and Outlook. This feature provides a temporary email address, that you can use to sign up for different websites. However, before we talk about how you can use the email alias feature in Outlook and Gmail, let’s first give you a brief insight on what an email alias is, shall we?What is Email Alias and Advantages of Using ItEmail Alias is an alternate email address that you can create within your primary email. This alternate email address will point to the primary email address you already have. All the emails received in the email alias will be delivered to your default inbox and you can also send emails from it. Basically, an email alias can be used to mask your original email address for scenarios where you don’t want to share your default, permanent email address.The email aliases are temporary in nature and if in the future you don’t want to receive any emails on the alias id, you can just delete the alias and that’s all.
Gmail is Google’s powerful free cloud-based email server that has taken an almost overwhelmingly dominant position among free email services. While many professionals and corporations still maintain their own email servers and addresses, Gmail has reached more than one billion monthly users. Even mighty Microsoft Outlook, long the king of corporate email on the desktop, has less than half of that.
One of the most useful features of Gmail is the ability to use the Gmail interface to manage mail for multiple accounts at once – they don’t even have to be Gmail accounts. In this article I’ll show you how to set up aliases for your email to do this.Also see our articleFirst off, what do we mean by an alias? Basically, using an alias just means sending an email through your Gmail account with a return address that goes to a different email account, or receiving email from a different email account to your Gmail inbox, or both. This second account must be an account that you own and control, but it doesn’t necessarily have to be another Gmail account. The idea is that you want to use Gmail’s powerful organizational and management features, or use it to manage many different email accounts from one interface, but still keep another account active. For example, say you have a business that sells DVDs online and that business has it’s own email, ‘’.
Thousands of customers have that email address and use it to send you inquiries about new releases; you don’t want to lose that email address, but you also want to use your new Gmail account to manage your mail. By using aliases, you can have the emails that are sent to delivered directly to your Gmail account, and send out responses that your customers will still see as coming fromSo how do we do that?
Setting Up Gmail Aliases Step One – Add Another Email AddressThe first thing you need to do is open your Gmail in a web browser on your computer. You can do all this from a mobile browser as well but it’s harder to do all the clicking and scrolling so for our examples here I’ll be using a desktop browser. From there, go to your Settings.
The settings have a way of moving around as Gmail plays with their interface, but as of March 2019 you can get to settings by clicking on the cog icon in the upper right-hand area of your Inbox, then selecting Settings.From Settings, select the “Accounts and Import” tab and then find the link for “Add another email address”.Click on the “Add another email address” link and enter your name and email account information from the new address. You have to own and control the other email address; Gmail will ask you to verify the information.
Step Two – VerificationTo verify your newly added email addresses, you will need to log into your other accounts. Check your inbox for the Gmail verification email and click on the required link. Step Three – Change the “From” Address in your Primary Gmail AccountNow that you have added your other email addresses, or aliases, you can send emails from your Gmail account using a different “from” address.You can do this in each individual message.
Change your settings by clicking on the “From” line in your message. If you don’t see a “From” line, click the space next to the recipient’s email address. Then select the alternate address you want to send from. Checking Email From Other AccountsWant to read your emails in one inbox? Linking your other alias accounts is easy. Just go to Settings and click on the Accounts and Imports tab.
Gmail Treat As An Alias
From there, scroll down until you see “Check mail from other accounts” and click on the “Add a mail account” link and follow the steps. Temporary AliasesNeed a temporary alias but don’t have another account? No problem – you can create temporary aliases in Gmail with the “+” email trick. When you add a “+” sign (and some additional text) to your own Gmail address and give it to someone, Gmail will still send any emails to that address to the primary address. So “” and “testaccount+spam ” will both get the email delivered atWhy would you do this? Easy – adding this temporary alias lets you create filters. You can tell Gmail to do different things with messages depending on what the additional text is.
ConclusionCreating a Gmail alias may sound difficult at first. But once you start doing it, you will see how easy it really is. Link your other aliases to send emails from those accounts, or set up your inbox to read incoming messages from other permanent aliases in a few clicks in the Settings section. Lastly, try to keep track of your temporary aliases if you plan on using them. Create filters when possible to avoid clogging your email with unnecessary messages. And save yourself some hassle by entering an alias instead of your real address if you think a website seems suspicious.(Need more Gmail tips? We’ve got you covered!

Here’s how to. And here’s an article on!).
Using Gmail’s send mail as function with a GoDaddy email forwarder address is easier than you think. It seems like GMail doesn’t want us to do this, because they don’t offer any instructions on how to set it up.In fact, a lot of the material I read while researching this topic says that Google recently changed their “treat as alias” settings to require additional authentication. That’s a perfectly fine idea, but I wish they were clearer about how to integrate it with other services like, oh ya know, one of the largest hosting companies on the planet.Quick note: if you’re looking for more technical tips like this one, please check out my company’s website:. I’d appreciate it!Anyway, here’s the Gmail send as GoDaddy email forwarding magic spell. Configure SMTP serverYou don’t have to know what an SMTP server is. You just have to put this info in:So, for example:.
SMTP Server: smtp.gmail.com (no options here; type that in verbatim). Username: [email protected] (this is your main GMail address, not your send-as address).
Password:. (Paste in the App Password that we created in Step 1)Note: if you get a, you probably forgot to change the SMTP Server field from smtp. EXAMPLE.com to smtp.gmail.com.
If you get an authentication error, there’s something wrong with your App Password. Try that step again. PartyOnce you see this “confirm verification” message, you’re home free. The verification code was sent to your GoDaddy email forwarder. As long as that forwarder is set up properly, you can go grab that verification code and enter it here.
Hit the Verify button and you’re done. Credit where credit is dueI found the working answer thanks to. Without it, I’d still be scratching my head. Ellis linked to his tutorial on a. If you’re interested, the thread provides a bit of background info, but it’s not necessary.I originally tried the, but hit a brick wall since their method does not appear to work for GoDaddy’s forwarded emails, only the “Professional Email” webmail inbox product, which is $4/mo. Who pays for email these days, especially if you’re using GMail to send and receive it?
TJ – Great tutorial. I may have an edge case for you. I have 2-factor auth and app password set up as instructed.
I go to add the alias and I am told that I must route through the alt domain (not gmail) and my account is not set up for that. And, contact my domain admin.I am on Google Apps for Business (GA4B) not free gmail. I am my domain admin and I do not see where I fix this issue in the GA4B domain admin tools.Is this a result of being on GA4B? What am I missing? Example in screencast below.Thanks,dd. RamyYears ago GoDaddy forwarding addresses were somehow configured to an outbound server with a password.
Back then, it was easy to configure the address as the “Send As” in gmail.It took me an entire day of tinkering to finally figure out that GoDaddy forwarding addresses no longer have outbound servers and passwords associated with them. GoDaddy changed their settings and thus its no longer possible use the GoDaddy server info when setting up your “Send As” address in gmail.Your work-around is brilliant. Thanks and God bless. MkhenningsTJ, I agree, but I was setting the alias up in my husbands e-mailevery time I log into his account I would have to wait for him to text me the verification code. I do have the setting for when any new log ins from an unknown device sends an alert to e-mail and backup e-mail as well as text to phone.
The device has to be approved before that device can log in. When I set the two step verification up yesterday even though I clicked save this device it still needed the code to log in.Also, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THESE DIRECTIONS!!!
You’re a life saver! MchampflWhile I applaud the ingenuity of the efforts of you and others for the solution presented here, it seems to me that a different solution is more desirable because if the winds blowing through Google ever change, your App Password solution could become dead in the water without knowing it until the point, “Hey, how come I’m not getting any email?”I offer my solution (in summary) as an alternative: 1)turn on Allow Less Secure Apps in the Google Account. 2)point the GoDaddy forward to some alternate mailbox temporarily in order to access emails that are generated during the setup. 3)point the Gmail SMTP to its own smtp.gmail.com using the very same login you are trying to forward to. 4)complete the Verification Code. Now point the GoDaddy forward to the now setup Gmail account. Once Allow Less Secure Apps was turned on, the SMTP server setup proceeded to the Verification Code step without error.The genius of.your.
solution is recognizing Gmail’s behavior in alternately accessing its own SMTP server as an outside app and treating it thusly. How much better it would be if Gmail would, during the process, pop up the standard Allow This App window that is used when any other app requests access. Further, Gmail’s loop around access to its own SMTP servers is considered A Less Secure App?!!! What is up with that?!!!Admittedly, I do not fully understand how the security issues of Allow Less Secure Apps weighs against what seems to me the “hack”-ness of your solution. Your use of what appears to me to be a One-Time-Password worries me that it may end up being treated by Gmail’s SMTP access as “one time” – especially if 2-Step Verification is turned off subsequent to the setup. I guess I’m saying that my lack of understanding of how this App Password is intended to work (as opposed to how it is being used here) is what bothers me.Another solution I found that also works is to just setup a dummy Yahoo email account (or use.any. email account you own other than Gmail) and set it for.that.
SMTP server. I did not pursue this solution far enough to determine if Gmail actually.uses. that SMTP server to send the email, which may be evidenced by all outgoing mail being deposited in the dummy Yahoo Sent Folder. If it does, it could prove to be problematic for the email headers, spam filters, etc.Your solution here is the top result in Google Search.
I would encourage you and your readers to refine these solutions in all their nuances so that your page becomes.THE. definitive goto for any and all much-needed solutions available for this issue.Keep up the good work!!!! Thanks @mchampfl, this is a very thorough response. If I follow your suggestion correctly, it seems like a pretty solid method.Regarding the “dead in the water” point from your first paragraph, I agree. Google could shut this down at any point.
It’s risky, but that’s the price of a “hack” (as you called itrightly so).But tell me, isn’t your method vulnerable to the same change in winds? The threat here IMO is not 2-step verification. It’s Google allowing use of its SMTP servers. And IIUC, both our methods rely on that allowance. No?In any case, your idea is still a good one. Thanks again for sharing (and for alerting me via contact form that my comments weren’t working properly!). MchampflThanks for the thoughtful response, which further demonstrates the potential for this to be.THE.
goto page for this issue.No, I’m sorry, I would disagree and maintain that 2-Step Verification’s App Password is the uncertainty here, not SMTP access. Consider how prevalent 3rd party access to SMTP is. All the major players allow for incorporating other mailboxes into their accounts so that you’ll stay on their screen instead of bouncing around your many mailboxes. Also, their are a myriad of value-add email services that need access to your mailbox. Further, email clients (Outlook, Thunderbird, etc. – even mobile clients) are technically 3rd party.
Thus, I would contend that 3rd party SMTP access is here to stay – it is just too much a part of the industry.The App Password, though is fuzzy to me. I have done some research since last and have a great deal more insight, but still unanswered questions about the App Password.
Here is what I have learnedBASIC AUTHENTICATION: Historically, the way you got access to SMTP (or POP, or IMAP) was username and password, and often that unencrypted, in the open. With so much proliferation of value-add apps, not just with email, but across the board (Dropbox, YouTube, etc.), Basic Authentication meant that you were giving the trusted 3rd party app your login credentials, typically in the open, for it to keep/store. The security of doing this began to be questioned, particularly in 2 specific ways: 1)is the trusted 3rd party app storing your credentials in a responsible way (eg, to protect from hacker break-in’s, etc.); and 2)Basic Authentication does not provide for restricting access to, in our case, only email. Give a 3rd party app access to your Gmail account using Basic Authentication and now it has access to.everything. – Google Drive, YouTube, etc., and even Account information (password, etc.).
Though the 3rd party app may be trusted, if he’s hacked, then your entire Google account is globally compromised.OAUTH2: Enter OAuth. I’m sure that all of us have seen the authentication screens being presented to us when we give 3rd party apps access to our accounts. This screen is OAuth at work – a 3rd party vendor / protocol that facilitates 3rd party app login in a more secure fashion. One notable aspect is that the login presented during the process is customized to the particular account the 3rd party app is wanting access to. For example, if I want my 3rd party app to access my Gmail, I’ll see what looks like a genuine Google login.
If I want the 3rd party app to access my Dropbox account, I will see what looks like an official Dropbox login screen. It looks that way because that is what it actually is. Let’s say I want the Android app EStrong’s File Explorer to access my Dropbox account. So, figuratively, I “make a phone call to” EStrong’s and they say “ok, well let me get Dropbox on the line with us so you can authenticate.” Once Dropbox joins the call, EStrong’s puts his “leg of the call” on hold so he can’t hear, I authenticate with Dropbox, and then EStrong’s comes back on the line and he and Dropbox will do some kind of a token exchange that Dropbox creates unique to EStrong’s.
In addition, you’ll notice that when Gmail (switching to a better example now) presents it’s login screen, it will list areas that the 3rd party app is requesting access, and thus will be granted access to, if you continue. Consequently, the token given to the 3rd party app is not only a unique login for that app, but restricts what that app can see once inside the account. The token exchange business is still fuzzy to me. Like, why would it not work for a hacker to steal the token from the 3rd party just as he would any login and use it to hack my account? BTW, you don’t always see the “3-way phone call”.
Some clients, eg. Outlook, the iPhone email client, etc., do OAuth2 in the background.Google announced over 2 years ago a gradual transition to only OAuth2 access to email accounts. And apparently this concept is being adopted across the industry. Here’s Yahoo’s:So the security option in our Google Account Settings called Allow Less Secure Apps means “turn off OAuth2 and go back to Basic Authentication – Globally!!!”. This sure makes my method undesirable.
But, I still am not comfortable about using App Password as an alternative. Here’s what I’ve learned about App PasswordAPP PASSWORD: This should be named “App-Specific Password”. And the definition of “App” as it is used here needs to be clearly understood.
“App” does not refer to your 3rd party app, but instead refers to which “Google app” the password will grant access to. This means that the.same. password can be used across multiple 3rd party apps, though you have the option to generate a new one for each app and thus better securing 3rd party access.Question: in your images in your blog content, you show the pull-down selection for “Mail, Contacts, Calendar, & Other” when generating an App Password. I don’t want to take the time/bother with detailing all of this out and thus have not been to this screen. The question is, can you multi-select on this pull-down?
That is, choose Mail.and. Contacts.and.
Calendar? This is an important question because it will define Other. If you cannot multi-select, then Other likely means the combination of the three above it. If you.can.
multi-select, then Other.may. mean “global access to the whole Google account”.
I am inclined to think the former rather than the latter, because the Google announcement linked above discusses only email related access for OAuth2, though this cannot mean that OAuth2 is not being used elsewhere (Drive, YouTube, etc.) since we see the Authentication Screen presented by 3rd party apps when accessing those services. So, your recommendation for “Other” concerns me.Though it may actually be that using an App Password will work just fine in the way you suggest using it, clearly Google’s intent in offering the App Password is that 3rd party apps cannot do the second step in 2-Step Verification. Thus I hold to my position that your suggested solution of using App Password is a misuse of its intended purpose and thereby more so subject to the “changing winds within Google” – a “hack”. It is, at this point in our discovery, a.huge.
unknown as to how Google will handle the App Password if 2-Step Verification is turned off after the SMTP access setup. This unknown causes me to lean towards Allow Less Secure Apps, because I do not want the hassle of leaving 2-Step Verification on. And beyond that, using your “hack”.requires.
that, if a user leaves 2-Step Verification on, they must use an App Password for.every. future 3rd party access to Google services – whether the same one over and over, or generating a new one for each 3rd party app – even more hassle I don’t want to be burdened with. (BTW, this is a consequence that I think you should add to your solution description for the sake of your readers.)However, now that I better understand Allow Less Secure Apps, I have no choice but to concede to.your. conclusion that the risk of using a “hack” may be better than the security risk of globally taking all access into (presumably only, hopefully! Only) email back to Basic Authentication. It is a tough decision that each user must weigh for himself. For me, not having a clear understanding of App Passwords after turning off 2-Step Verification, I choose Allow Less Secure Apps, because of the potential of 2-Step Verification being turned on hassling me in the future.
Allow Less Secure Access is a set-it-once-and-forget-it. I choose laziness over security! (c:Assuming you would agree that what I have described here is valuable information, I would encourage you to incorporate it into your blog content up top.

MchampflAnd one more thing.I find it totally irresponsible on the part of Google to implement OAuth2 on their SMTP servers but.not. on their own email client! Especially when Yahoo and others are jumping on the bandwagon. This means if I wanted to integrate my Yahoo mailbox into my Gmail account, I have to go over to Yahoo and turn off OAuth2 on that account!If the SMTP Server Setup process in Gmail would present the OAuth2 screen when attempting to attach to a Google (or Yahoo, or whoever) SMTP server, the setup process would be so self-evident as to make this whole conversation moot – your blog post wouldn’t even exist.C’mon, Google!!!

RobogrlTJ, Sharing this process with all of us was a huge gift. Thank you!Following your instructions was easy and seemed to work great.
But, now that I’m interacting with my GoDaddy email through Gmail, I’m having a small problem that I hope you might be able to help me fix. Here it is: after receiving a message into my gmail account (forwarded from Godaddy) I hit reply and Gmail populates the reply with the GoDaddy email address in the To: field instead of the sender’s email address. It happening like this on both accounts I set up using your instructions.

Joe BlowTHANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH!!!I’ve done dozens of these forwarded E-mail response set-ups for clients over the years and recently needed to do another one. However, as you pointed out, Google changed the procedure and this was the ONLY search that turned up with a working solution.If anyone cares, I have many E-mails from Maddog domains that forward to my Gmail account. When the domain is no longer valid, obviously I can’t receive E-mails sent to the forwarded address, but I can still reply from them. Seems like that could be a security issue, but I suppose there are easier ways to send an E-mail that looks like it came from somewhere else. I’m not an Adroid user, but Google tends to play nicer with Androids than iPhones, so I don’t see any problems off the bat with that setup.Looking deeper, can you tell me more about the setup? You’re forwarding from a GoDaddy yourdomain.com email to a GMail inbox per the setup described above, right?So presumably there are other straight-to-gmail messages that are coming into the same @gmail.com inbox? Are those still functioning properly on desktop?
This forwarding hasn’t interrupted any standard gmail delivery, right?And what about those standard straight-to-gmail deliveries on Android? Are THEY coming into the Android?Lastly—not being an Android user—what email app are you using on the Androids?

Does it have to be GMail, or are there others? Thanks for the reply.1. To you first question, YES! Exactly as described above.2. On the desktop version of gmail, all is well and works as normal receiving both direct to gmail and godaddy emails.3.
NO emails are coming into the android phones no (direct to gmail address or godaddy)4. To your last question, There is the Gmail app and the mailbox app on the android. Both should be receiving as normally as they were before. BOTH are no longer receiving any gmail or godaddy emails. (These apps have not been touched, and do continue to receive email from other email sources that are synced.).
TenprofessionalsHey brother, A huge thank you for this! A quick question too if I may I have setup a huge number of accounts using this method(Thank you again) to the point I no longer need this site to follow the directions. That said, I have had no problems using this on a desktop or iPhone and today I ran across an android user who is sending me emails and is still shows from the original gmail account.
Would you have any suggestions? He says he cannot logout of his gmail and that he would have to delete the account and re-add it. I told him to do it(can’t hurt) Waiting to hear back.
In the mean time Anything you can suggest would be greatly appreciated.Robert. Thanks, Chris. Glad it helped. I’m not 100% sure if I understand your question, but if it helps:The GoDaddy part of this tutorial is interchangeable with any email forwarder. Usually DreamHost, 1and1, BlueHost, Siteground, etc etc.The GMail part is not. These instructions are written only for GMail.That does.not. mean that send/receive-as functionality is impossible on Outlook, Hotmail, and the rest.
It may very well be possible. But I have no idea, and these instructions will probably not translate to other email services.Does that help? ChrisTNTThank you!Yes this helps a lot, in fact, I must do this with many forwarding accounts but some of their users use Gmail and others Outlook/Hotmail, so for Gmail I don’t have any problem because it worked, but Hotmail is the headache now.I will continue searching for any kind of information, if you find the solution it would be great that you could write a section for Outlook/Hotmail users because I have found NOTHING about it yet.I promise that if I do, I will post it here!Thanks a lot! Thanks for your comment, @stefhostetter:disqus. Could you elaborate a bit?
What trouble were you running into? Got any screenshots we could see?Google and GoDaddy are both huge companies with R&D budgets, of course. Therefore we can’t expect their systems to stay the same forever. If either or both has changed something, that could definitely impact this method.If you can point me in the right direction, I’d love to dig into what may have changed and update this tutorial accordingly.Thank you!
Georgia FieldHi there – thanks for this tutorial, is has been helpful. I have hit a problem though in that I am able to complete every step through to the ‘confirm verification’ pop up box but I never receive an email through to verify the process. I have repeated the steps three times and each time fail to receive an email. The gmail address is and the domain address i want emails to be sent to is.
I cant figure out what I’ve done wrong because I’m receiving the final stage popup box – any help would be so appreciated! DonnaWe have unlimited email with GoDaddy and just got hit w/ a $120.00 renewal for just 3 mailboxes. I knew there was a way that I can set up my domain name email using gmail for freeand GD was not wanting to help me. Thank goodness I found this tutorial.
Got one of my accounts set up perfectly on the first try.My question is thisI have a few days before my GD email plan expires. I asked if I can use their free email forwarding option and they won’t “tell me.” Anyone have knowledge on continuing through GD with the free email forwarding? Of course they don’t want to lose my business, but I’m not going to pay $120 to stay either.My next question is I’d like to forward those forwarded accounts from gmail over to outlook. Is there a link on how to do that? The instructions were so simple to follow. LolThanks in advance. (sorry if this is confusingGD tech support got me going crazy).
Thanks for your comment, @disqusdZW0DWUz1L:disqus. It sounds like your questions aren’t actually about the mechanics of email forwarding between GoDaddy and Gmail, as described in the article. But I’ll try to help where I can.—Anyone have knowledge on continuing through GD with the free email forwarding?Sort of. I do use this feature on a number of client sites. In all cases, however, the service was offered free with the purchase of the hosting package.I’ve never had to purchase an email forwarding package from GD. But I can absolutely confirm that they exist and they work just fine.
But as for setting one up on your account I’ve never done that manually.I can tell you that an email send/receive inbox and an email-forwarding service are very different under the hood. It’s almost apples and oranges. Therefore, if you’re asking GD support about “switching” (or something similar) from hosted email to forwarding, they might be legitimately confused at that.—I’d like to forward those forwarded accounts from gmail over to outlook.I don’t understand what you’re asking here, and I think it’s partially because of the word “forward.” So let’s clarify some of the terminology.I’m using “forward” to mean: an email is sent to, but is automatically redirected over to. The sender keeps in their address book, but the recipient logs into their inbox at. The “forwarding” service is the go-between that connects the dots.As for Gmail vs. Outlook, you’ll have to be more specific about what you’re looking for!
Lisa ColīnaI believe I figured it out! I saw another post in the comments where Renan shared a link– I clicked on the link he displayed, clicked “agree to access” and now it works!
Holy smokes, I can’t even believe it! These instructions you provided are the absolute best out there. I tried countless other articles with instructions on how to do this before I found this one. No one else shared how to create the password needed and I kept hitting a brick wall with it. Thank you so much for posting, and please never remove this post– I have to set up about 15 more people using these instructions over the next couple weeks!
I can’t thank you enough!
