We are writing to ask you to allow us, Gmail users, to mask the fact that an email came from our Gmail account instead of a professional one.

Currently, people using your service can't use it as their main email box because of that.

Let's say you work in a company with bad email service, and you decide to forward your mails to your Gmail address. Receiving emails is no problem, but sending ? If you want to send emails, you can use :
* your company SMTP server, but the archive system of Gmail becomes useless : you have only one side of the conversation !
* Gmail server, using the "send from" feature : impossible, people will see "superlover2006<>gmail.com on behalf of john.smith<>company.com" (<> = @). It's not serious at all!

Please allow us to use your service, bring us real "send from" feature...
Or at least aliases??

225 9 Jan 2008 - 19:14    Devin : What is the point of having multiple accounts in one place if you cannot send emails from each account without pointing out that its on behalf of gmail? It makes the multiple account feature essentially useless. PLEASE END THIS!
