Using your Fedora Project email alias with Gmail

Before you can setup your alias, please ensure that:

Since the form for adding an alias is not secure enough for Google, we need to create an App Password so you can send emails through Google’s SMTP server.

First, open the App Password setup page. You may be asked for aditional verification, after you verify, you need to choose a name for the App Password. Pick something you will recognize later.

Your App Password will be displayed, copy it now, since it only can be displayed once. You don’t need to store it anywhere, just keep it until you setup your alias.

Login to your Gmail account and open settings by clicking on the gear icon in the corner, and then the "All settings" button that will be shown.

Click on "Accounts and import" and then on "Add new account"

Fill out the name you want to be known as and your Fedora Project alias. Keep "Treat as an alias" checked and click on "Next step".

Since you will still be sending you emails through Gmail, fill out Gmail’s SMTP server and your Gmail address. Don’t forget to put the App Password you generated instead of your passord then click on "Add Account".

You may see this screen informing you that a verification email was sent to your address. You can safely close this window.

The verification email will look something like this in your inbox. Click on the link inside of it.

After the setup, you can try sending an email to yourself, like this:

You can also use the alias as the sending address, just select it from the dropdown in the From field (even on mobile)
