## Frequently asked questions

### How to make a sender as default?

When you create a new campaign, Mailmeteor for Sheets automatically selects the default sender. You can change the default sender by following these steps:

1. Sign in to the [Dashboard](https://dashboard.mailmeteor.com/senders).
2. From senders list, next to a sender, click the three-dot menu (⋮).
3. Select **Set as default**.

### Which email services are available?

You can configure a [sender](https://mailmeteor.com/docs/senders) with Gmail/Google Workspace, Outlook or Zoho. Other services (such as Yahoo, Apple Mail etc.) can not be directly configured within Mailmeteor. But you can add them as an alias to a compatible account and then use configure this account as a sender.

### Can I use an alias configured in Gmail?

Yes! That's totally possible. First, you need to configure an alias inside Gmail, then you just need to configure this alias as a sender in Mailmeteor. Check our [guide on using an alias to send emails](https://mailmeteor.com/docs/senders/alias).

### Checklist before using an email alias

1. **Make sure to copy and paste the exact email address in Mailmeteor.** If there is a typo in your sending email address, your sender will not be configured and emails won't be sent from it.
2. **Verify your email alias rate limits.** If you want to send emails from a non-Gmail alias, like Yahoo, OVH, or Outlook, your sending limit may vary depending on the email service provider's [email quota](https://mailmeteor.com/docs/docs/get-started/email-quota).
