Add additional From addresses to Mail on the iPhone
Authored by: capacity on Aug 24, '09 01:55:22PM
I made a reply earlier that said I couldn't get it to work with Gmail, but I have figured out that if you make an account as described on the official Gmail/iPhone help page here, you can then get this hint to work.

In short, this method does not work if you created a mail account on your iPhone by pressing the "Gmail" button. Instead, you need to press the "Other" button and make an IMAP account, save the account, and then go back into it and edit the "Address" field as described in the hint. Don't forget to set your Drafts, Trash, and Sent mailboxes to be on the server.

Thanks so much for the hint! Been waiting to have this ability for a long time.

And make sure to understand how to set up handling of Deleted Items, and how Gmail's SMTP server automatically saves your sent messages. When in doubt, see superuser.com for an overview.
