I have always previously use this, but for some reason now in Google I can't add a custom email address and send the emails via Google's servers.

Have Google removed this fantastic feature?

I just set this up a few minutes ago to send mail from my primary (personal) Gmail account as my secondary email address (an academic email) that uses Google Apps (e.g. youremail@googleappsdomain.com)

Just make sure you enter the following information during setup:

SMTP server : smtp.gmail.com
Username    : youremail@googleappsdomain.com
Port        : 587 (enable TLS)
Password    : enter your Google Apps email password

If you get an error message that looks like this:

Authentication failed. Please check your username/password.
[Server response: 535-5.7.8 Username and Password not accepted. Learn more at 535 5.7.8 http://support.google.com/mail/bin/answer.py?answer=14257 p10sm4562279obk.2 - gsmtp code(535) ]

That probably means that you have 2-Step Verification enabled. If so, make an app password and use that auto generated password instead of your Google Apps email password.
