Welcome to TarDisk.com. This page has nothing to do with the amazing way that we increase storage space on your MacBook. No. This page is about 'hacking' your gmail account. Using a loophole left over from the good 'ole days of gmail 'Beta'. Follow these steps below to "Send Mail As", using your current gmail account.

 

How to send email as ______@TarDisk.com:

1. We will use Godday's email forwarding system. Your manager will set up your forwarding email address, so confirm that she has done so already. 

2. First you need to add the "2 step verification" to your gmail account with the link here.

2.1. Scroll the page down until you find "2-Step Verification":

 

2.2. On the next page, click on "Get Started" and use your credentials to log in. The next page will ask you for your phone number and you shall select between text or phone call to receive your verification code.

 

 

2.3. Complete the next page with the verification code you that you will receive and confirm.

 

3. Generate an app specific password by clicking here.

3.1. On "Select App" you gonna choose "Mail" and complete the device field with the one you are using right now.

3.2. After you click "GENERATE", a pop up will show up with your "App Password", save that password somewhere, we gonna need it later.

 

4. Inside your Gmail Account, Go to Setting > Accounts and Import > Send mail as > Add another email address you own. You need to get to the page bellow. 

4.1. As you can see, you need to complete with the name and email desired to apear publicly. Don't forget to use @tardisk.com as domain!

 

4.2. Since on the last page you chose "@tardisk.com" as domain , the "SMTP Server" in the next page will be automatically filled as "smtp.tardisk.com". You need to change that, exactly the way it's shown bellow, to "smtp.gmail.com". The next box will be "Username", use the Gmail address you created for tardisk and on "Password" paste that App Password that you hopefully saved somewhere :P. Don't change the "Port" or check boxes, just proceed with "Add Account".

 

5. Next page will tell you that Gmail sent you a verification code, open your inbox on a new tab, get the code and "Verify". Congratulations, now you can send emails as @tardisk.com! :)
