I have never made a comment before on TH-cam. However, I wanted to make sure people watch this video!! It took me 5 hours and at least 4 videos with reading various articles to finally come across this video that explained it well enough step-by-step for me to be able to figure it out! Glad I was able to find this video as it was the only video that helped me overcome the error messages I was receiving. I needed to enable the 2 step verification. This video is a must-watch!
I love you just because you gave me the solution in 2 seconds that 1 hour google search could'nt! Well, we need humans, we need you! Thank you! From Paris, France.
Ohh my loordddd! I bought my domain and wanted to set up another alias but was forever trying to find the password! I had no idea! I thought it was my actual G-mail account password and couldn't figure out why it wasn't accepting anything I put in there even after multiple password changes!! Absolute life-saver. Thank you!!
Thank you so much and well done for a great tutorial! Three hours of my day, two wasted phone calls, minutes on hold and you solved it in four minutes!
I'm sorry you spent so much time trying to solve this problem, but I'm glad this solution helped! Thanks for taking the time to let me know this helped you!
Great video. You literally walked me through the steps. I paused the video, executed the actions, then played the video. Thank you SO much for the help! -Shayna
Thank you so much, this was so helpful and straightforward. All the articles I read only ended up making me more confused and I was worried if I was gonna be able to figure this out within my deadline. Your instructions were brief yet comprehensive as well as timeless, very much appreciate it :)
Finally, thanks so much. I have spent hours sifting through forums and video's with no resolution but after this video and using the different app password my alias is finally working. Two thumbs up!
Thank you so so much! This was SOOOO helpful! I searched many videos trying to achieve this, but all wanted you to give access to unsecure apps which I didn't want to do. This was just perfect! Many many thanks!
BLESS YOUR SOUL FOR THIS TUTORIAL! I’ve been trying to figure this out for so long. And no other video shows the “generate app password” step. Thank you so much!!
Thank you SOOO much. Just like many other people, I too spent hours searching for an answer. My problem was because my email is forwarded so I had to get a special password. FINALLY found the answer in your video. The only think you forgot to mention I think it's the "drop down menu" thing you have to do when you're composing an email so you can choose the email you want to use (that necessary info can take a long time to obtain too). Other than that, PERFECT!
I'm glad you found my video helpful! Yes you can either have it so you can switch it between the emails or set your new alias email as the one you will default to use all the time.
Make sure you forward the @domain email to your @gmail before going through these steps and the confirmation should now show up in your gmail at the end of the steps :)
Thanks so much for this. I had set this up 3 years ago and for some reason it stopped working. I was on chat with Google support and they couldn't figure it out while I was following the steps in this video. I deleted the old alias and rebuilt the alias with this videos help. You are better than google and gmail support. Maybe we can collaborate with stuff. I am a real estate coach. BTW- Thank you so much. You made it so damn easy!
Hi, I'm so glad this helped! Thanks for leaving me a comment as well. I'd love to chat with you, we actually work primarily with real estate agents and those in the RE industry in general. It's not as well represented here on TH-cam as yet, but that's the majority of our clients. If you visit my website www.minmarketing.com, you can drop me a line there and let's chat!
This was really good! When I would create the 'App password' I was selecting 'mail' as the app instead of gmail. Hopefully, this cures my emailing issues (error 550 5.1.1) Thanks again for this succinct tutorial!
Shannon, thanks so much for your video.. everything worked provided I followed ALL your instructions.. LOL I screwed up 2x but got it done... can you do a video using Microsoft Office 365 where I retrieve from alias and send from alias if it is even possible?
Can u help me figure out why the fw stopped? I got an error message "You're sending this from a different address or alias using the 'Send mail as' feature. The settings for your 'Send mail as' account are misconfigured or out of date. Check those settings and try resending." I think its because I turned off 2 factor auth a while back, I tried to reset up the process, but I am getting another error when entering the app password So I can receive to the alias but not send from the alias.... please help
Amazing! Maybe google should look at your video and understand that their instructions on doing this should, at some point, state that 2 Step Verification must be turned on for the app password option to show up... would save a lot of people from migraine headaches!!
This is a great and concise video. Thank you. Can I also set up a second alias for a different account? Do I have to go through the same gmail procedures and get a new password?
Hi, thanks for watching! If you want a second alias for a different account you would just repeat the whole thing again. I'm not positive if you can use the same email as an alias for 2 different accounts with this method. But I think you were asking more about the former anyway.
Hello Shannon, I've watched this video before and I was successful in adding an alias for my account, however, I was trying to add another alias and I got all the way to the window that says "Congratulations..." The problem is when I go to confirm the changes in my inbox, I have a Mail Delivery Fail email as opposed to a confirmation email. Do you have any idea why this would be happening?
Hi Heather, thanks for watching! Are you trying to add two aliases to the same account or are you just trying to go through and repeat the process for a different email account?
@@MinuteMarketingPro Hi Shannon, I was finally able to speak to someone with Google Domains and got it resolved. Thanks agaim for your video and your help.
Would Google prevent an account from adding an alias if that primary / 'delegating' account has already reached 95% of its space capacity? After adding the name and email address (another gmail address) to be added as an alias, I get a 'next step' button which only carries me to my inbox. When I check later, the account was not actually added. I never get options for entering a code.
Do I have to get a new password for each alias email account? The first one I set up worked. The second one didn’t. I keep getting an email message that said the address not found. “ your message wasn’t delivered to (my alias address) because the address couldn’t be found, or unable to receive mail”
I have a question. One of the users within the company manages 2 accounts. When he receives an email he wants to reply to all and the other account he manages to be included to the sending recipients. However, somehow that email is taken off automatically and needs to go back and write it manually. Any suggestions why?
Awesome video. You solved my problem which i was trying to solve from 3 hours. Thank you so much. Do I need to pay for G suite later ?? And want to hide that via gmail.com.... from the details of the sender in the inbox can you help to do that.
I agree! I also think Google has too many products these days that they're trying to connect together and it makes things very confusing for the average person.
the verification code will arrive to you gmail account, from the one you are making the alias. In my case it arrived to the social media mails so it didn't show up in the main mail box
Hi Sherry, Yes what Carlos said below is correct, but you need to forward the @domain email to your Gmail address first because you do all the steps in the video. It's the one step I didn't mention in the video! But I included it in the caption :) Hope that helps!
fantastic video and it works well. Now, after 3 months of great service i'm not getting emails on my alias email. I am scrambling on how to solve the problem. Any ideas on how to solve this issue?
Hi, My first suggestion would be to unwind the connection, make sure the @yourdomain email is functioning properly on its own, and then retry this method.

Thank you so much. The other youtubers taught the wrong information when the error message come up. You are the only one who solved my problem.
Her video had the least amount of minutes compared to others. straight to the point. nicely done.

Awesome - thank you for the clear and concise tutorial without the usual random filler chit chat that one often finds in these videos!
I’ve been trying to get this set up for a year (off and on) and this tutorial was the one that finally helped. Thank you!
This video has been evergreen help for so many people! I have shared it with several-- the instructions are really clear. Thank you!
Thank you for such a nice comment!
I was chatting with a google support agent for couple hours last night and they still could not help me out. Thank you so much, Shannon!!!
DUDE! YOU ARE A LIFE SAVER!!! I'VE BEEN LOOKING THROUGH TONS OF VIDEOS AND ALL OF THEM DIDN'T WORK BUT YOUR METHOD DID!!! THANK YOU YOU ROCK!!!
Awesome so glad it helped!

BLESS YOUR SOUL FOR THIS TUTORIAL! I’ve been trying to figure this out for so long. And no other video shows the “generate app password” step. Thank you so much!!
Thank you indeed!!! That hack for forwarded emails is great, and so annoying/weird that it's nowhere else to be found! Amazing tip.
Thanks so much!
Well done! Short and concise walking through all the steps.
Hi, I know this is old, but it helped me get set up on something I've been struggling with for quite a while. Thank you!
I never usually leave a comment, but I have to say that your video is excellent. Accurate, concise and easy to follow. Many thanks!!
Thanks for taking the time to leave me a comment!
Perfect step by step! I kept getting confused watching other videos and entering my regular password. It finally works! Exactly what I needed :)
Thanks for watching, Dana!

Thank you - Google's instructions were so unclear in places, this really helped
Excellent video. Short, concise and to the point.
After many useless videos, FINALLY ONE THAT HELPS!!! Thank you!
How can I get to the confirmation email? Thank you for any help. 2:59
Make sure you forward the @domain email to your @gmail before going through these steps and the confirmation should now show up in your gmail at the end of the steps :)
Thank you! This has been tremendously helpful! I've been working on trying to figure this out for days now!

"You're sending this from a different address or alias using the 'Send mail as' feature. The settings for your 'Send mail as' account are misconfigured or out of date. Check those settings and try resending."
