Using Gmail on iPhone with alternate
reply address.
It can be useful to have a subset of mail directed to a Gmail IMAP
account to be retrieved with your iPhone.
I do this by duplicating a subset of my incoming mail to my gmail
account, as well as depositing it to my standard account.
I want to maintain my standard account for all replies.
Here is the process:
In Google Gmail:
Select settings -> accounts
Add a second e-mail address to be associated with your G-mail account.
Set that account as the default reply-to address.
Your Gmail settings -> account tab will look something like this:
Send mail as: John
Doe <firstname.lastname@gmail.com> make default edit info
John Doe <john@ispyouuse.com>
default
edit info
delete
On the iPhone:
Delete your existing Gmail account if you have one.
It is IMAP so you won't lose any data.
Delete by settings -> mail, contacts, calendars / select Gmail
account and "delete"
The "trick" is to set up an account
using "other" under mail, not
"Gmail".
Create a new account like so:
Under mail create an account and select "other"
(or add account under settings -> mail, contacts, calendars ->
add account)
Use these settings:
Imap Account Information
Name John Doe
Address john@ispyouuse.com
Description My Gmail
Account
Incoming Mail Server
Host Name imap.gmail.com
User Name firstname.lastname
Password: ........
Outgoing Mail Server
SMTP smtp.gmail.com
Make sure that "IMAP" is selected (should be by default).
