How to Unmask in Gmail

You control whether or not your Gmail address is masked.

Gmail is a free email service provided by Google that can integrate with some existing Google services that you need a Google account for, including Google Docs, Google Calendar or Google+. When configuring the advanced settings for your Gmail account, you can perform a process called masking that makes outgoing messages appear to be sent from an address other than your Gmail address. If you decide that you no longer want to mask your Gmail address, you can unmask it via the Gmail account settings.

Instructions

1. Log in with your Google username and password to Gmail.com using your Web browser.

2. Click on the gear icon in the upper right corner of the page and choose "Mail Settings."

3. Go to the "Accounts and Import" tab at the top of the page.

4. Go to the "Send Mail As" section and locate the email address that you are using to mask your Gmail address.

5. Click on the "Delete" link to the right of the masking address.

6. Hit "OK" in the dialog box to confirm your decision.
