How do I use an extra mail address when sending mail?

When you're composing a message, the "From:" field has a pull-down menu that shows your primary address and your extra mail address. Click and hold down "From:" to select your extra mail address, if you want to use it. Recipients will see that address.

And, yes: You can make your "extra" address the default address in the "From:" field. That way you don't have to choose it, it's just there, every time. Making it your default address is also easy. Here's how:

  1. Click Options in the upper-right corner of the page and select Mail Options.
  2. Under “Management”, click Mail Addresses.
  3. In the list of addresses, click your extra address.
  4. In the box to the right, next to “Sending Mail”, click Make Default.

Now you don't have to select this address from the pull-down menu anymore. It's selected already!
