 Then you need to purchase a subscription from the cloudHQ people.  As of this writing it's $14.99/month.  It would be nice if they offered different pricing for corporation use and personal use. But they don't appear to.
+=====Change Your Gmail Address=====
+The following link tells how to effect a change to your email address.  Suppose you created your old email address using your birthday, and realize that this is not a good thing to do.  Read on.
+From the link below, it says: ''There's no way to actually change the Gmail address linked to your Google account, but you can do so in essence by creating a new Gmail address and linking it to your original, established account. After creating the new Gmail account, change your settings so that messages sent to your new address will be automatically forwarded to your original account. You'll also need to change your settings so that you can send e-mail as your new alias from your old account.''
+After doing its steps, it would work as follows:
+  * Tell people to send to the new Gmail address. [it is forwarded to your old, birthday address]
+  * Use your old Gmail address to read and reply.  When replying, have Gmail use the new Gmail address as the sending address (you'd select it from a drop-down).
+This is the link: [[https://www.wikihow.com/Change-Gmail-Address]]
+====Add a From-Address====
+This is collected from the previous 'Change Your Gmail Address' entry. You want to set things up so that messages you send can appear to come from another email address you have.
+  - Sign into your gmail account
+  - Settings, see all settings
+  - Accounts and Import
+  - Add another email address you own
+  - In the “Add another email address you own” popup, type your other email address and check “Treat as an alias”
+  - “Next Step”, enter username and password for this other account
+  - Click on “Add Account”
+To use: Compose message and change the sender from the dropdown.
