Error: 'Invalid argument' (alias issue)

If you are having an invalid argument issue, then this is linked to your alias in your Gmail settings and draft. Please follow these steps to solve this issue.

Why do you get this error?​

alias_invalid_argument1

This error message appears because there is an issue either with the alias selected in your Gmail draft, and/or the configuration of your alias on your Gmail settings.

How to solve this issue?​

Select the right account in your Gmail draft​

Open your draft in Gmail and change the sender (From field) to switch to your default address instead of the alias.

Configure your alias correctly in your Gmail settings​

If the solution above doesn't help, go to your Gmail settings, under the Accounts tab, and make sure that the email you have selected (the one that appears next to the Invalid argument error message) is treated as an alias.

If you see Not an alias, then it means that you have to modify this setting.
