Configuration of the Gmail web interface

Google Workspace @ NC State has a lot more space for you to use so you should be able to have all of your mail on the server. We all know that Google has a search engine. It will quickly go through your mail to find what you are looking for.

NOTE: Before you change any settings in the web interface, exit any IMAP clients that you may be using. This includes both Thunderbird and Outlook.

Basic Setup

These options will help you with both the web interface and with your other email clients.

Send As address

  • Settings
  • Accounts tab
  • Add your firstname_lastname@ncsu.edu address
  • Add another email address you own
  • Send Verification
    • The confirmation will be sent to your account pretty much immediately.
  • Accept confirmation sent from “North Carolina State University Team”
  • Go back to Settings, Accounts and make this your default address

Plain Text and Rich Formatting

Sometimes you’ll want to use Plain Text instead of Rich Formatting when you compose an email. You can toggle between the two by using the link under the subject line.
