Why Change the Reply-to Address in Gmail?
One reason to change the reply-to address in Gmail is when you have multiple “send mail as” addresses connected to your account and you don’t want replies sent to those accounts. For example, imagine that mainemail@gmail.com is your primary address and you also like to send mail as other@gmail.com, which is your other Gmail account. Even though you send messages as other@gmail.com, you don’t check that email account often, so you don’t want replies sent to that email account. Instead of forwarding email from other@gmail.com to mainemail@gmail.com, change the reply-to address. That way, when you send messages from other@gmail.com, recipients respond as they normally do, but their email goes to mainemail@gmail.com instead of other@gmail.com.
Switch Between Reply-to Addresses in Gmail
When you send an email from another account you’ve set up in Gmail, select the email address next to the From field at the top of the message. From there, choose from the list of “send mail as” accounts. The recipient will see something like this in the From line of an email you send with a different reply-to address: mainemail@gmail.com on behalf of (your name) In this example, the email was sent from the other@gmail.com address, but the reply-to address is set to mainemail@gmail.com. Replying to this email sends the message to mainemail@gmail.com.
