GoKawiilGmail to end 'Send As' support for third-party email addresses in January 2027
Google has announced that starting January 2027, Gmail's 'Send as' feature will no longer support external email addresses like those from Yahoo or Outlook. The change won't affect Google Workspace aliases or other Gmail-owned addresses, only third-party accounts linked through SMTP.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
Many users rely on Gmail's interface to manage multiple email identities from a single inbox, so losing this feature could disrupt workflows for people who consolidate personal, school, or business emails through Gmail. It also signals Google's continued push toward tightening account security and reducing reliance on external SMTP credentials.
- Gmail will drop 'Send as' support for non-Google email addresses starting January 2027.
- Workspace aliases and other Gmail addresses remain unaffected by this change.
- Users who depend on sending from third-party addresses via Gmail should plan alternative solutions before the cutoff.
Google Workspace Business Starter subscription — With Gmail dropping "Send as" for third-party addresses in 2027, moving your custom domain onto Google Workspace keeps you sending from your own domain inside the Gmail interface you already know. It also brings your domain email, Drive, and Calendar under one account instead of relying on SMTP workarounds.
