I'm not a professional email administrator, but I thought this was more than just a function of the client, but you had to configure things on the back end too?

When you set it up in Gmail, it doesn't just let you add an alias and call it good. You still have to go to the source account settings and authorize your primary account to be able to send from alternate(s).
- DrScump 7y agoSince each email you send requires a login through your outgoing client (e.g. SMTP), your emailer has to know the server address, security type (e.g. TLS), etc. Most clients configure this the first time you try to send vis that server and store the credentials for future use. You only need change these settings if your server credentials change..
