Configure e-mail to receive emails from <alias>@crystalpointjc.com

  1. Provide the admin an email address to which you want to receive emails that are sent to <alias>@crystalpointjc.com
  2. The admin needs to visit http://admin.google.com > Apps > Google Workspace > Gmail > Routing > Email forwarding and add a mapping from <alias>@crystalpointjc.com to the receiving email address.

Configure e-mail client to send emails as <alias>@crystalpointjc.com

  1. Ask the admin to create a unique app password to enable sending emails as <alias>@crystalpointjc.com
    1. The admin first needs to visit http://myaccount.google.com > Directory > Users to verify that <alias>@crystalpointjc.com is not a real user; if <alias> is a real user, sending emails as that user will not work.
    2. Next the admin needs to visit http://myaccount.google.com > Security > App passwords, select app "Mail" and select device "Other (custom name)"; then enter the unique receiving email address as the description. It is important to choose a unique email address or similar description so that it is possible to uniquely identify this sending client to revoke email sending if necessary.
    3. Once all fields are filled in, click "Generate" to obtain a unique password and share the app password with the requestor.
  2. Once you, the requestor, receive the unique app password, you can configure your email client.
    1. In your Gmail open Settings > Accounts > Add another email address and new window opens up.
    2. Fill in your name as "Name" and <alias>@crystalpointjc.com as the "Email address"; keep the checkbox "Treat as an alias" checked and click "Next".
    3. Fill in "smtp-relay.gmail.com" as the "SMTP Server", port should be "587", use "admin@crystalpointjc.com" as the "Username", and use the unique app password at the "Password". Keep TLS selected as the communication protocol and click "Add address".
    4. An email with a verification code will be sent to <alias>@crystalpointjc.com. Once you receive the email, copy the verification code into the input box and click "Verify".
    5. Finally, visit again Gmail Settings > Accounts > When replying to a message and select "Reply from the same address the message was sent to".
    6. You are done; when composing a new email, you can now choose in the "From" field which email address the message should be sent from.
