An offer from the address “name.surname1987@gmail.com” looks like a part-time job until the customer reads it. From regular Gmail, you can send as biuro@yourcompany.example - three steps in the settings, without the paid Google Workspace.
Before you start
By default, the company address has its own mailbox. There are two usual paths:
Zimbra (free). The mailbox is included in the package with the domain at OVH. You read it in the browser, and on your phone you add it as an account in the Gmail application - ”OVH Mail on your phone without Gmail”.
Google Workspace (paid). The company address works normally in Gmail, without additional settings; you pay monthly for the box - ”Google Workspace”.
If you stick with private Gmail
This is a workaround: it works as long as everything's right, but it's easy to mess up - changing your inbox password or old setting and Gmail stops sending without a word. If you still want to stay that way, the steps are below. You need your own domain and a mailbox there, e.g. biuro@yourcompany.example - paid Workspace is not required for this.
Step 1 - Set your own password
Log in to the company mailbox in your browser with the starting password and set yours. Only then will you enter the new one in Gmail.
Step 2 - Add your Gmail address
Gear → “See all settings” → “Accounts & import” → “Send message as” → “Add another email address.” Enter your company name and business address.
Step 3 - Five server fields
Gmail will send a confirmation code to your business address. You'll find it wherever you read your company email - in your browser or on your phone. Enter the code and that's it: next to a new message, you select the sender.
Check if it works
- Send a message to yourselfWith a company address as the sender, to a private one. The “from” field should contain the company address, without the note “on behalf of”.
- Reply to herThe reply is to be returned to the company address. If not, select “Reply from the address to which the message was sent” in the settings.
Are you changing your mailbox password? Correct them in Gmail too - otherwise it will stop sending without a word.
