#2Finally. I've been asking for this for years.
Allowing you to authenticate against another SMTP server always seemed like such an easy win for them and I couldn't understand why they didn't just do it. But I guess I'm not the one supporting millions of people on my platform. :)
This makes GMail an even stronger candidate now to replace a desktop mail client in my book. Thanks, Google.

Why is this feature so important to you? Perhaps I can learn something useful.

It's useful because if you're using Gmail to manage email from your own domain(s), and have a non-Gmail primary email address, now people receiving your email won't have to know that you're using Gmail. Often I would get people start using my Gmail account even though I was sending mail from my own domain's email address.

#5I'm also elated for this. Countless times at work, I send an email from gmail using my work/school .edu email and when that mail gets replied and forwarded around back to me with my gmail user name exposed. Not a lot of people know me by my username (which is my gmail) and sometimes I want to keep it that way.

Google Apps for your domain can help you out--use Gmail and your domain all at once.

#7Now just for PGP support.

#8This is the feature that I have been waiting for! I can finally manage all of my mail in one place and respond to professors in a professional manner through the school email server and keep my gmail totally behind the scenes. Awesome

Then you have to log in to multiple places, no?

I did that, and abandoned it in favor of regular gmail. Gmail for domains did not have (at that time - I don't know the sitation now) all the features of regular gmail and it had a fixed space quota.
