Use MobileMe push email with any email address
Authored by: dallas2xist on Jul 10, '08 09:02:52AM

Sven-
I apologize but you're right about the MobileMe outgoing servers. I use an outgoing server from GoDaddy that doesn't have that same limitation. Gmail will let you use their outgoing, but I think it shows the Gmail address as the 'From' email address. Most ISPs will let you use their outgoing server with your user name and password. I should have tested further on smtp.mac.com last night.

This is the only way I have been able to do this not using Exchange. Yahoo email addresses are also 'Push' but you have to pay to have POP3 (not IMAP) access in your Mail App.

Use MobileMe push email with any email address

Thanks for confirming this. No need to change my setup then, which is the same as yours: route mail to mac.com for retrieval / web access and use another smtp for outgoing mail from non-mac/me.com addresses.

gmail does support other email addresses but some mail clients (most notably Outlook) display it as "From: abc@somewhere.com (sent on behalf of abc@googlemail.com)" (or something along those lines) which sounds rather dodgy IMO. I mean *I* know what's happening but I can see recipients raising their eyebrows, wondering who actually sent that.
