Introduction
It is not unusual to want to
maintain separate identities on line. Suppose you work
as a coach and you also work for a company and you want to send
emails from each of your 'hats.' There is an easy way to send
from your various identities. Some folks have 4-10 email
identities, and if you're a VA (Virtual Assistant) you may have 20
or 30 identities so that your email appears as if it's coming
directly 'from' your client.
Here's what you do...

Step 8

whether you have an account set up already or select to get one
Your
Internet Service Provider (ISP) will usually have given you your
full email address when you signed up for their service, and/or told
you of their home page where you can get additional email addresses.
Or, if you prefer to get a free email account at hotmail.com or
yahoo.com you can make this choice now and click on the button you
prefer.

On the upper left, just to the right of the word SEND, you'll see a
little triangle/arrow. (see below) Click and hold this.
Step

pop up. Select the one you want to send this email 'from.'
(These are my various identities.)
