Are you tired of missing out on the numerous benefits offered by Google Docs and Gmail, simply because your emails are not being sent from your Microsoft account? If yes, then this article is just for you. In this piece, we will guide you through a simple process of adding your Hotmail email to Gmail, allowing you to choose which email address you want your messages to be sent from whenever you're composing an email.

To start with, select the account you wish to use from the 'Send from:' dropdown option in Google Docs. From there, open the 'Alias, filters, personalized attachments…' menu and configure YAMM (Yet Another Mail Merge) to send emails from your Microsoft account in just two simple steps.

One of the many great reasons to use Google Docs is its ability to access hundreds of fantastic add-ons, including YAMM. Using a Microsoft email does not limit you to using Microsoft Office only; it's compatible with numerous other platforms as well.

To configure Yet Another Mail Merge to send a mail merge from your Microsoft account, follow these steps:

1. Link Gmail to your Outlook or Hotmail email address.

2. Choose how you want Gmail to operate when replying to a message and make the newly added account default if desired.

3. Confirm your desired behavior for the email (optional final step).

4. You should have received a confirmation email from Gmail; either click the link or use the confirmation code provided.

5. If it didn't start automatically, click the button in the settings pane to start the verification process. If you run into issues with this step, confirm the specific steps and inputs with your email provider.

Once you've specified your Microsoft account, Gmail will automatically configure the necessary SMTP server, secure connection, and port info.

In addition, if you're not sure whether or not to check 'Treat as an alias,' consult Google's article on the subject for a clear explanation of the decision-making process.

With this feature, you can use it in an add-on like Yet Another Mail Merge, which allows you to send mass emails through your newly connected email account. I'll also show you how this feature can be used to add any email address in Gmail.

By following these simple steps, you'll be able to send emails from your Outlook account, Hotmail account, Windows Mail account, or even an alias email you've created once set up properly.

In conclusion, adding your Hotmail email to Gmail and configuring YAMM allows you to take full advantage of Google Docs and Gmail while still sending emails from your Microsoft account.
