How to use G-Suite's shared mailbox (Groups) as sent-from addresses in native mail clients Outlook and Apple Mail?

Question

I set up GSuite and created a Google Group called "info" which is linked to the [email protected] e-mail address.

What we want to achieve

We are a team of three (each with their seperate private mail address), and all of us should have send / read access to the shared "info" address via native clients. This means, that we want to be able to send emails from "[email protected]" in clients such as Outlook or Apple Mail.

So far, the only way to send emails from the shared account is by using the G-Mail web application. However, our native clients don't recognize the shared account.

What I've tried out so far

I have added all wanted users as members of the Google Group and set the required permissions to read / send emails form this group account. I have also come across solutions such as "Google Sync for Microsoft Outlook", but this only works on Windows (no Macs) and for Office (and no other client).

Ideally, I would love to just set up the shared account as a completely seperate mail address and not tied to my personal "[email protected]" address. If that's not possible, how can I send emails from the shared account via non-Gmail-clients?

https://www.lifewire.com/change-email-sender-name-outlook-1173446 provides an Outlook solution:

In Outlook, click on File | Account Settings | Account Settings.

Pick the email account you want to change from, in the list that appears. Click Change.

Look for Your Name in the settings pane and enter the "[email protected]" you'd like to appear in the From: line of your emails. Click Next then OK.

Also, change your Reply-To field with:

Click on File | Info | Account Settings | Account Settings

Pick the account to revise and click on Change then in the Reply-to address text box, change that to "[email protected]" then Next and Close.
