Sharon,

It is possible as long as there are two email addresses. You sign in
separately for the two accounts.

I meant that if the address has already been set up with its own account, I thought it would not be possible to list that address as an alias of another account.

We deleted the gmail account, BUT I contacted the tech person at the
subscriber’s professional address and discovered that she does have
her professional address forwarded to her gmail address—she didn’t
understand that. I just can’t get her to understand why gmail thus
becomes the sender.

Ah yes. Plenty of opportunity for confusion if the member reads one address' messages via another address' interface. Handy sometimes, but you have to remember what you're doing.

How would an alias work?

An alias in an account lets you send messages via that address, yet have it be treated as a message from the account (the subscribed address). No messages are ever sent to the alias address, only to the subscribed address.

And would it help?

It might.

If she were to keep her professional account as the subscribed address to your group, and then list her gmail address as an alias in her professional address' account. Then messages from the group would go to her professional address, and be forwarded there to her Gmail account. Then when she posted using her Gmail address the alias would cause it to post as being from her professional address.

I’m trying to get her to use a client on her computer like Apple Mail
or Outlook. Then all her mail would be in one place but be able to use
separate addresses.

She can also do that in Gmail's web interface. There is a setup option to retrieve messages from other addresses and display them within Gmail. This also lets you send messages using the Gmail interface but from the other address. You are effectively using your Gmail account as a mail client for the other address(es).

But before doing this she'd want to turn off the forwarding from the Professional address. Trying to do it both ways (push and pull) at the same time would cause confusion.

Her professional mail interface may or may not offer the equivalent functionality. Which way to do it depends on which interface she's more comfortable using, plus any policy or privacy concerns with using her professional interface for other email activity.

Myself I prefer the use of an email client on my PC (was Eudora, now Thunderbird) but that's as much because I grew up pre-webmail as anything else. You and she will have to judge which setup she'll be most comfortable with.
