Gmail just rolled out a fix recently for one of my few, yet longstanding gripes. If you use Gmail to send a message from a different account the sender might see an annoying message like “From username@gmail.com On Behalf Of customaddress@mydomain.com.” A minor issue to some, but it didn’t look professional and worse yet, I found that for some Microsoft Outlook users the email would end up in the spam folder.
Now by following a few simple steps the problem is fixed. Google lets you route the email through the other account’s server so now the email looks as it should (this fix also applies for Google apps users). If you are a Gmail fan like I am, this is truly great news and means that I can consolidate all my e-mail addresses through my Gmail account. All hail our Google overlords.
Just today I was recommending to the COS staff to make gmail their primary email and have the ability to send out email from gmail that says it is from their other accounts. I had no idea that sometimes there would be that little message. ACK!
Fortunately it is fixed! (As long as you are savvy enough to follow the instructions)
