Most email programs or services, like Outlook or Gmail, allow modifying your sender address so that emails you send will appear to come from your joy.net address. The set-up procedures are generally self-explanatory and your service provider should be able to give you instructions if needed. We have, however, listed the set-up process for some of the most common webmail services as follows:
- GoogleMail (Gmail)
- Yahoo Mail
- Hotmail
- Microsoft Outlook
- Microsoft Outlook
Express 6
- Pegasus Mail
- Eudora Mail for Windows
- Eudora Mail for Macintosh
- Netscape
Messenger (Communicator)
- Mozilla Thunderbird
GoogleMail
- Log in to your Gmail account.
- Click 'Settings' at the top of any page, and then select the 'Accounts' tab.
- Click 'Add another email address' in the 'Send mail as' section.
- Enter your full name in the 'Name' field.
- Enter the email address you'd like to send messages from in the 'Email address' field.
- Click 'Next Step',' and then click 'Send Verification' to complete the process.
Gmail will send a verification message to your other email address to confirm that you'd like to add it to your Gmail account. You'll need to click the link in that message, or enter the confirmation code in the 'Accounts' section of your Gmail account, to complete the process. Once you've verified that you'd like to add the address to your account, you can start sending messages using your custom 'From:' address.
