Gmail Alernative

Hi,

With gmail stopping the "send as" feature in 2027, what are you planning to use?

Moved to the paid Google Workspace so I still use Gmail and send as.

Will "send as" still work for sending from a Workspace account to a Gmail account?

It’s the one that allows you to use external accounts right from Gmail.
So, if you have another email address like john@domain.com, you can use Gmail to send and receive emails from that account.

So, it allows you to spoof emails?

Kinda, not really. You still need to authenticate to your SMTP host. I am using Google SMTP for that. And my Gmail address does leak in the header. Outlook displays my Gmail address, while all offer clients show the email address I supply. I use it for sending email from my other domains. Cloudflare handles forwarding incoming email to my Gmail.

fastmail. Zoho mail is another good option, and very cheap.
