Send from your domain in Gmail

Use the Gmail inbox you already know while messages are sent with your professional Clynde address in the From field.

INBOUND · TO

hello@yourdomain.com

CLYNDE FORWARDING

Gmail inbox

OUTBOUND · FROM

hello@yourdomain.com

Google has announced that personal Gmail will remove “Send mail as” in January 2027. This setup works today, but you may need to move sending to Apple Mail, Thunderbird, or another supported app before then. Google Workspace availability depends on your organization’s settings.

Before you start

  • A paid Clynde plan with sending included
  • An SMTP credential created in your Clynde domain panel; copy its username and one-time password
  • DKIM and DMARC records shown in Clynde added and verified
  • Your Clynde alias already forwards to this Gmail inbox

Step-by-step setup

1

Open Gmail settings

In Gmail, select the settings gear, then See all settings. Open Accounts and Import and find Send mail as. Select Add another email address.

2

Add your professional address

Enter the name recipients should see and the full alias you created in Clynde. Leave Treat as an alias unchecked, then continue.

Email address
hello@yourdomain.com
Treat as an alias
Unchecked / Desmarcado
3

Enter the outgoing server

Copy the username and password from your Clynde sending credential. Use the server exactly as shown—Gmail may suggest mx1.yourdomain.com automatically, but that server only receives mail and will fail.

SMTP server
smtp.improvmx.com
Port
587
Username
Your full Clynde alias / Tu alias completo de Clynde
Password
Your Clynde SMTP password / Tu contraseña SMTP de Clynde
Security
TLS / STARTTLS
4

Confirm the address

Open the Gmail inbox your alias forwards to. Use the link or code in Google’s confirmation message to approve the address.

5

Send a clean test

Compose a message, choose your professional address in From, and send it to a different address. Do not use the same Gmail inbox your alias forwards to, because Gmail may hide the duplicate from Inbox.

You're ready to send

Your Gmail inbox can now send as your custom-domain address. Repeat the same process for any additional alias.
