1. On the main Gmail page, click the gear icon at the top right and choose Mail settings in the popup menu.
2. On the Settings page, click the Accounts tab, and then the "Add another email address you own" link; a popup window should appear.
3. In the popup, enter yourlogin@wou.edu in the email address box and make sure the Treat As Alias checkbox is checked, then click Next Step.
5. The popup will change again, giving you two choices for what to do after the email verification arrives. You don't have to leave the popup open, because you'll use the first method which doesn't require you to enter the verification code here; either way, though, go back to your inbox using the link in the folder list.
6. Since your @wou.edu address delivers to gmail, you don't have to go anywhere else to get the verification message. If it doesn't show up in your gmail inbox after a minute, reload or refresh the inbox page. When it does appear, click on it just like any other message.
8. This should open a new page that says the verification has succeeded. Click the link to go back to the inbox.
10. In the Accounts tab, the @wou.edu version of your address should now be in the list; click the "make default" link next to it.
From now on, whenever you send a message in Gmail, it will say "From: yourname@wou.edu" instead of the confusing "@mail.wou.edu" address.
