== 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''''' option.
* A new window will appear:
** Type in the Name of the Google Group
** Type the email address of the Google Group
** Uncheck the box for '''''treat as an alias''''', 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. 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 will receive emails sent to group email AND you can send & reply to emails using the group email.
* During email composition, just click on the '''''dropdown icon''''' to choose a group email address.

== Please Note ==
* Add only 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.
