Should I tick or untick the “Treat as an alias” option in Gmail?

By saying treat as an alias you’re telling Google that it’s your own address. The consequences of this choice are only minor.

  1. If you’ve told Google it is your address, then if you put this address as a “To” (or Cc, Bcc) address, Gmail will simply place a copy directly into your inbox.
  2. If you’ve told Google it isn’t your address (ie, it’s not an alias), then if you put this address as a “To” (or Cc, Bcc) address, Gmail will still send the email as outgoing mail, treating it no differently to any other address.
