Alastair – Log into Gmail, and under Settings choose the Accounts tab. Under “Send Mail as”, there’s a link that says “Add another email address”. This will let you set up additional From: addresses for use with Gmail. You have to go through a verification process before you can use different From: addresses, to prove to Gmail that you really are the owner of that address.

Once you’ve registered a new “Send mail as” address, Gmail will preserve that From: address when you send mail through SMTP.

I am having no luck with sending mail through this system! Well, the mail sends fine, however emails sent always report the mail coming from my gmail account rather than my domain name. Any suggestions?

Shawn – thanks for ordering TNPE. I hope you like it.

I do use filters to put mailing lists in their own folders. But I no longer do any manual filing of non-mailing list mail in my Inbox. I just stick it all in the Archive folder.

Excellent post. I really like how Gmail works, and I’d love more gmail functionality in a mail tool. Does anyone know how I can simulate the gmail “labels” functionality in thunderbird, if it is at all possible?
