When setting up an identity to send from a Google Apps (now Google Suite) domain alias, you may find that the messages you send either still appear to be from your primary Google Suite account, or as sent 'via' it. To fix this, please follow this guide to make sure everything is set up correctly on Google's end:

In Mailbird, the identity should be created with the alias address in the email field, set to send through Google's SMTP server, and the credentials set to your main Google Suite email and password.
Note that if after setting everything up in Mailbird you receive an authentication error when sending, make sure that "Allow less secure apps" is enabled in Google, as that's what Google calls it when you authenticate using username and password authentication, which is needed for this to work.

Need some help with this.
I followed the full setup according to this guide. Setup is fine, but when I try sending a test message from Mailbird, it errors out and gives me a "Try checking your From address" error message. See attached image:
I've followed everything to a t:
I've tested it, and it works flawlessly in Gmail - both sending and receiving to the alias email address (sending/to from a non G Suite email address just to make sure).
However, when I try sending/receiving from within Mailbird, it gives the error above.
Any help would be much appreciated. I'm a Mailbird Pro user
Thanks!
