This is great news. Now, if only the iPhone web app of Gmail supported sending from different accounts this would be perfect.
Gmail: Send mail from another address without "on behalf of"

Re: Gmail: Send mail from another address without "on behalf of"
#12Anybody know if this will work w/ 3rd party email clients?
For example, if I use smtp.gmail.com, but I construct the from address appropriately, will it relay to smtp.mydomain.com and put a copy of the message in my sent items folder on my Gmail account?

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. http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/07/30/gmail-kisses-on-behalf-...
Google Apps for your domain can help you out--use Gmail and your domain all at once.
I wish I could migrate my normal Gmail account (all received email to date, current labels and rules) to my Google Apps for your domain account.

#14Great! Now gmail needs to make the "conversations" view optional and give me the ability to view my mail just like any other e-mail client (that is, without automatically combining unrelated e-mails into the same "conversation" just because they share a subject line).

It doesn't look like it, but every 3rd party client I know of has the ability to use any SMTP server available to you.
From the help page http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&ctx=m... :
Note for IMAP/POP users: If you access Gmail through a POP or IMAP email client (e.g. Outlook) and would like to send messages with a custom "from" address, you have two options. We recommend that you configure your email client with two outgoing SMTP servers, one for Gmail and one for your other address. Your second option is to use Gmail's outbound servers with a different "from" address. If you've already configured the custom from address in the web interface, your message will be sent from:otheraddress@domain.com, sender:username@gmail.com, regardless of which custom from configuration you chose. Your messages will be sent from your regular Gmail address if you never configured your custom from settings in the web interface.

Why would you want to use smtp.gmail.com, rather than the SMTP server that matches your From address?

#18Now just for PGP support.

You don't want server side PGP support - you'd have to give your private key to Google. As much as I trust Google, I still don't trust them that much.
Much more secure to handle the crypto client side. Ideally, Google should work with the firegpg guy so that he has notice before they change the interface (FireGPG tends to break for a day or two whenever there is any change to the GMail UI).

My main concern is having the outgoing email archived by Gmail, preferably in Gmail's Sent Messages folder.
Right now I have Emacs/Gnus configured to get mail via POP3 on Gmail, and upload a copy of outgoing messages to an IMAP folder on Gmail. I'd prefer a cleaner/quicker option.

It would be time consuming especially if you have a lot of email, but it is possible. Set up your current account in an IMAP client like Thunderbird, download all the messages to local folders, set up the Apps account, move messages into that account.
