Step 1: Add an address you own

• On your computer, open Gmail.
• In the top right, click Settings and then See all settings.
• Click Accounts and Imports tab.
• In Send mail as section, click Add another email address you own option.
• In the form provide, in field (1) type the Group name that shows up when you send an email with this address.
• In field (2) type in the group email address. Uncheck option (3) so this email is not treated as your nickname.
• Click on Next step button to proceed to following step.

Step 2: Verify email ownership

• Before using this email address to send emails, Google requires that you verify this email ownership.
• Click on Send verification button to let Google send a verification code to the group email.
• When Google sends a verification to the group email, you will also receive it in your personal email inbox since you're a member of that group.

So, just copy the code and move on to next step.

• Next, go back to verification page then paste the code you just copied from your inbox.

Step 3: Confirm 'send mail as'

• If all is set properly, you should now see your group email added in the 'Send mail as' section.
• If you would like to reply to emails sent to group email address using a group email, leave 'Reply from the same address' option checked.

Step 4: Sending an email using Group email address

• Now as a member of the group, you don't stop at only receiving emails sent to group email. But also send and reply to emails using group email.
• During email composition, just click on the dropdown icon to choose a group email address.

Please Note

• Add only the members who need the send-as feature to the group.
• This is important, because anyone in the group during the send-as setup will get the confirmation code/link.
• If your group is already populated, you can either remove/re-add users, or simply change their email delivery settings to "no email" during setup.
