If you’ve been using the same email address for a while, you may want to continue to send mail from that address. Luckily, you can switch to Gmail and still send emails that display your old address in the "From" field.
How to set it upTo add a different “From” address, log-in to your Gmail account and click the gear in the top right corner. Select Mail Settings and visit the Accounts and Import tab. Under “Send Email As” click Add another email address. Follow the steps on-screen (or see these detailed instructions) to complete the set up.
