The 'Send from' field (alias picker) isn’t working

You won't be able to see your alias as the sender when trying to send a test email to yourself. This article will explain why.

Why can't I pick my alias?

This only happens when you try to send emails to yourself (using the 'Send me a test email' button). When sending emails to yourself, Gmail automatically skips the alias setting.

If you try to send emails to another email address, the alias will be taken into account.
