Email service/program question

[desidude]

Hello friends,

I am looking for advice on an email client/program that can do this. I have an alumni email address (I am an alumnus of that university), e.g. abc@xyzcollege.edu that forwards to my current email service. I have a free gmail as well as a google apps (.in) email address so I can forward it to either.

I also have MS Office 2013 if that helps.

That works fine. However, I believe that some email clients/programs allow the user to change the sent as email address as well.

For example:

Currently my alumni email forwards to my gmail email account - xyz@gmail

I believe there is some way to change the settings, either in gmail or another provider (I can sign up for another email service if needed and forward my alumni email to that) so that while it actually sends email from that service (e.g. gmail) the sent as email address appears as my alumni email.

I hope this makes sense, if so, please do let me know if this is possible.

Thanks,
desidude

I think you want to be redirecting, not forwarding. I haven't read the entire article yet, but see if this is helpful:

https://support.************/hc/en-...mail-to-your-support-address#topic_q4l_bwr_2k

Edit :sorry about that. mikeymikec let me know that the link didn't work (probably due to the https:, even though it comes up fine from a google search). The redirect only seems to work from the original landing spot according to the article, so I don't think it would work in your situation.

You can configure your gmail account to retrieve mails from other POP3 accounts (possibly IMAP too, unsure).

- edit, didn't read the question properly -

I've set up a gmail account to retrieve mails from another POP3 account, then set it up on the phone to send as the 'another POP3 account' address without any problems. The latter is also in the gmail options under 'Accounts and Import' > 'Send mail as'.

Then your e-mail client can be set up to send as the 'another POP3 account' address without gmail sticking two fingers up at you because you're not sending as the address you authenticated with.
