How To Get Gmail For Mac

I have a primary gmail account: me@gmail My employer set up email that forwards to gmail as a different identity: me@mtk.org Me@gmail downloads to my Mail inbox on Mac. Vlc for mac os 10.5.8. I can reply to messages sent to thus account from my Mac. Mail sent to @mtk.org Also downloads to the mail inbox on the Mac BUT I CANNOT reply to these messages from the mtk email - it does not show up as an option in to select in the From drop down menu in Mail. It would not be appropriate for me to reply to these messages from my personal Gmail address. Work email needs to be responded to from the work address How do I get the MTK email address to show up in the drop-down menu on the Mac so that I can reply using that address? I use Gmail for Work along with Mac Mail and how I got around this was by opening: • Preferences > Accounts • Then in the Email Address field I put a comma after the address that was there and then added the other address I wanted to be able to reply from. For me I added 4 different ones just by separating with a space and comma like this: me@gmail.com, me@mtk.org, sales@mtk.org Now, when I compose an email, there is a a drop down menu that allows me to choose which address I want to send my message from.

The only caveat here, is that all of my addresses end in the same business name and it sounds like yours don't. I don't know how your boss has gmail for work set up, but this is easy to change and worth a try! If it doesn't work you can just go back to how the account was setup before, no harm, no foul.

Set up Gmail on a Mac. Google’s Gmail is a popular email service, both for personal and business use, and there are a number of options for using it on your Mac. Set up Gmail on a Mail. Most of Gmail’s features work best if you are using the web interface for Gmail, so I would encourage you to consider using that. If you want a separate app for email but still want to use the Gmail web interface, look at Mailplane which offers that, plus the ability to use multiple Gmail accounts. If you need to be logged in to several Google accounts during the day for email, calendar, etc. Then I think Mailplane is, by far, your best option.

If you want to be able to reply with a specific FROM email address, you need to set up this email account in Apple Mail. When the new email account has been set up, you'll under the new email account's 'Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)' setting have the server to use when replying - and by having this new account, you'll be able to choose it from the drop-down as the reply FROM address. EDIT: When you have set up the new mail account for @mtk.org, you'll have set up (configured) the Outgoing Mail Server too - and this Mail Server could be using your current GMail Server identity setup, which will work the same as 'kristcarmen' suggested in his answer, or it could be the correct Outgoing Mail Server used with @mtk.org, if the last, then all @mtk.org mails will be replyed 'the correct way'. Needed server identity for your @mtk.org Mail Server: - if you look at your current GMail account set up, you can see what you need - so you need to get the same kind of server identity informations for setting up your @mtk.org account.
