  Hi Nicholas,

  Your e-mail addresses with WordPress.com are forwarders, not actual e-mail addresses.

  In Gmail, you can follow these instructions to add your e-mail address as an option to send from: http://support.google.com/a/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=22370

  You’d need to leave the SMTP server field blank.

  Please let me know if you have any other questions or need anything else!
