I think this is the best place to ask this...

I have recently decided I'd like to use a webmail solution so that my emails are not tied to my computer and so I can access them anywhere. The solutions provided with my hosting, Horde, SquirrelMail and RoundCube, are pretty limited and/or a pain to use. So I thought why not use Gmail?!

Anyway, having setup Gmail to work with all my email addresses, I found it rather annoying that you get a "on behalf of [email protected]" on some email clients.

My solution to this was, I thought, to use Google Apps. However, I am still facing the same problem. I presumed that as I'd setup different emails in the Google Apps sets that I'd be able to access them all from whatever user is setup as a recipients for said address. That's not the case though, you still have to add it via the "Send mail as:" option and it still does the "on behalf of [email protected]" thing.

Am I missing something? Can I allow a Google Apps user to use multiple email addresses, or is the way I'm doing it the only way? If so, back to Outlook for me :( :p
 
I first read your post and was confused a little but, but I know thing what you are getting at are alias'.

For example on my gmail apps I receive any emails sent to jon, jonny, jonathan, jonb @ mydomain.com. Is this what you are wishing to do?

I'm not sure about replying from the different addresses, I haven't tried that - no need to. All my replies just come from jon.
