Learn to understand alternate addresses and sender choices and send from the intended identity in this beginner-friendly Gmail lesson.
Before you begin
Use the correct account. Practise with fictional content and never share passwords, recovery codes or confidential information.
Step-by-step instructions
- Open Gmail and confirm that the profile picture and email address show the intended Google Account.
- Map two addresses to suitable uses using fictional or non-sensitive practice information.
- Pause before any send, delete, sharing, security or account change; check recipients, permissions and likely consequences.
- Review the result and confirm that you can send from the intended identity.
- Record one useful habit and safely reverse or remove any temporary practice item.
Ian's practical tip: Email can affect real people immediately. Check the account, recipients, subject, attachments, tone and privacy before you send or share.
