You won't be able to do so from the Gmail web interface - you'd need
to be using a standalone mail client such as Thunderbird.
Instructions for setting this up with Gmail are here:<br>

<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://support.google.com/mail/bin/static.py?hl=en&page=ts.cs&ts=1668960&rd=1">http://support.google.com/mail/bin/static.py?hl=en&page=ts.cs&ts=1668960&rd=1</a><br>

One you enable IMAP access for your Gmail, and set up a Thunderbird
account to access that way, you'd need to go into your account
settings and click on "Manage Identities", and add a
<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="mailto:vicechair@wplug.org">"vicechair@wplug.org"</a> identity. If you have multiple identities
defined, Thunderbird will let you choose between them when sending
e-mail, so you need to remember to select appropriately. One of
your identities (usually the first one defined, in the process of
setting your account up) is used as the default.<br>
<br>
This assumes that Gmail's SMTP servers will accept a message that
has a "From:" address that is something different from your Gmail
ID. I haven't tried this myself, so I'm not sure if it will or
not. Some SMTP servers that use authentication (such as Gmail's
SMTP servers) reject messages that appear to be "From:" someone
other than the login ID of the user sending the message, for
security reasons.<br>
<br>
Setting this up does not preclude using the Gmail web interface as
normal - it would be in addition to your normal web-based access.<br>
