My company has a [email protected] "group" email address (Google Apps Free edition) to which I belong. I receive emails sent to this address, and when logged into Gmail as [email protected] I successfully configured "Send mail as" so that I can now send emails as [email protected].

Now, I want to send emails as [email protected] when logged into my personal Gmail [email protected]. Here is what I tried:

  • Click Settings > Add another email address you own
  • In the popup, fill "Name" as "Corp Engineers", "Email address" as "[email protected]", and leave "Treat as an alias" checked
  • Click "Next step"
  • For some reason, a form called Send mail through your SMTP server appears. It did not appear when logged as [email protected]… anyway I fill it. The SMTP field is pre-filled with smtp.mycorp.com, which does not exist (DNS error) so I use smtp.gmail.com instead. After pressing Add account this error appears:

Add another email address you own: Authentication failed. Please check your username/password.

I also tried filling with my [email protected] account's details, different error:

Add another email address you own: Authentication failed. Please check your username/password. Server response: 535-5.7.8 Username and Password not accepted.

How to do?

Note: I can send as [email protected] from my personal Gmail, I have configured that already. The question here is for the group email [email protected].

Unfortunately, it seems that Google has changed its policy for Google Apps Email service. I also noticed this new behaviours a few weeks ago. Before, I was to use a "Send as Gmail" (I don't remember the exact wording) functionality.
