Once you’ve configured YAMM to send email from the correct account, we suggest that you immediately run a test mail merge from your account to confirm everything is working.

Choose how you want Gmail to operate when replying to a message and make the newly added account default if desired. Confirm desired behavior for the email (optional final step).
