If you have just one minute to spare, I made this short video to walk you through.

How to Add a Different Reply-To Address in Gmail

You’ll need to open Gmail on a browser (such as Chrome or Firefox), preferably on a computer, because these features might not be available on a smartphone’s Gmail app.

1. The first step is to click on the cog (the settings symbol). You’ll find that at the top right of the screen.
2. Then click on See all settings. 

 

Now that you’re in Settings, select the Accounts and Import tab.

 

Then scroll down the screen a bit until you see the “Send mail as” section. Click on edit info.

That will open this pop-up box. 

Click on Specify a different “reply-to” address.

 

In the Reply-to address box that appears, enter the email address to which you want all your email replies to be sent.

Then remember to save your changes. 

 

And there it is!

 

Enjoy Using Your New Reply-To Email Address

From now on, every time you send an email, if the recipient replies to your email, it will be delivered to the other email address that you set it up to go to. 

Happy emailing!
