What's really sad is the main Smurf character ...Papa Smurf is being played by the great comedienne Mr. Jonathan Winters...did not get a mention in you "article".

Hi Eric

Thanks for this. Works fine and my sent emails end up in the google send folder, which was my issue before.

One comment: under ios4 you cannot save the blank mail server host, as it verifies your entry. I just entered ".com" which seems fine.

Cheers

Nick

Is this working on the latest firmware? I'll have to try it again...

I have updated the very top of the post to reflect recent information. You can still use this method to manually select which address to send from while not receiving mail on both addresses, but to make the address 'sticky' is no longer possible. Apple killed this trick with an update.

Make sure the email address in the exchange account and the email address in the imap account are both exactly the same (the address you want to be sending from). The usernames should remain as your actual gmail address, but the address fields should be changed.

I get the same on the latest firmware. Does this actually still work for you?

This also happened to me about a month ago. One day the behavior "g" mentioned just started. I have an iPhone 3G running OS 3.1.2.

What firmware are you on?

I'm getting this too - where the stickiness is not working (i.e. the response email is not automatically defined by the incoming address). I am able to manually change it in the message but just adds an un-necessary step. Any advice anyone?

Thanks for the great tip though

When trying to change the email address in the exchange server account (to the address we are trying to send from), when you back out, the email address gets reset to that of the .gmail.

Hi Eric,
I think we are hosed. At least on my phone, your wonderful trick no longer works. If I change the Email field in the sync set up window, or even if I leave it blank, once I exit, it changes back to my normal gmail address. Can you please give this a try? I'm thinking that google has a way of syncing one's gmail address back to the phone so that our default sender address has to be our google address.
thanks

Weird behavior that just showed up today. I'm finding that my google sync account is resetting the email address, from the one I would like to send from, back to my actual gmail address. Is this something google can set through their servers?

after reading your posts again and trying it myself, i do indeed have this issue as well - and it goes away when turning off the dummy account - my conclusion is that this is an issue with apple's software confusing the two accounts and trying to refresh from the wrong one, however if apple were to fix this issue im pretty sure this little tutorial i wrote would not work (because confusing the iphone os is how this trick works)

I finally found what was giving me a problem. I had forgotten to change the alternate "from" address in the Google Sync account. Duh!

Re: Google Sync: GMail From Alias Address

Hi Eric, Thank you for the quick reply. If I turn off the imap account, the error goes away. Of course, with the imap account off, I cannot send from my alternate email address. I'm guessing that when one hits refresh while in an individual message, it checks through both accounts (imap and sync) and gives the error. Not clear to me why the error doesn't come up when in the email list view, in a mailbox. My sense is that this is a minor hitch in your overall scheme, which otherwise works beautifully. My initial inquiry was to see if I am observing odd behavior particular to my phone and set up, or whether this is expected. Could you try on your phone and verify? If we get the same, issue solved and we know what's going on. Thank you.

I'm not really sure, this could be an issue with the iPhone or an issue with the way Google Sync works, could you investigate a bit more?

Re: Google Sync: GMail From Alias Address

One bit of odd behavior -- if I refresh in the email list view, no problem. However, if I refresh while viewing an individual email message, I get the warning "Cannot get mail" and "no password provided." Not a big deal, but is this expected?
