I was actually wrong about this one - this works fine as long as you have your preferred FROM header selected as the default account in Gmail’s settings. So if you don’t already, log in and click the Make Default link next to your desired FROM account in the “Accounts & Import” tab in settings.
A Gmail account that has IMAP enabled (Check your Gmail settings). You’ll need the username (your complete @gmail.com or @customdomain address) and the password (or an Application Password if you use Google’s 2-factor authentication. I’m using iOS 7 on an iPhone 5 for these screenshots. 1. If you don’t have one, set up a secondary iCloud account.
To do this, go to Settings on your iOS device and tap on Mail, Contacts, & Calendars. Go through the enrollment process and note your new iCloud username and password. You’ll need the username later when you set up your Gmail address to forward to it. To do this, go back into Mail, Contacts, & Calendars, and tap on your secondary iCloud account.
Then tap on the account name once more to go to the Account page. From there tap on “Mail” under the advanced settings. Then tap on SMTP. If you’re using 2-factor authentication, you’ll need a dedicated application password. You will need to go into both the iCloud & Gmail SMTP servers, setting iCloud to Off, and Gmail to On. OK, now you’re done. Basically we’ve told that iCloud account to send out through Gmail.
Cloud will want it to go out as whatever@icloud.com, it will be changed by Gmail to whatever@gmail.com. If you have an alias that isn’t your primary Gmail address, you’ll likely not be able to use this setup since iCloud won’t let you change the “from” address. However you can set up a regular IMAP account on your device with your Google credentials and change the “FROM” address.
The only issue is that replying to messages won’t be seamless - you’d have to manually select to send your reply through your IMAP Gmail account, not your secondary iCloud email account, which is messy. Therefore if you have a gmail account with a custom alias you want to use, these steps might not be any easier for you than just resorting to non-push email.
As I said above, I was wrong on this one - just make sure you have the address you want your email to come from set as your default address on the Account & Import tab in Gmail’s Settings. Now you need to get your Gmail pushed to your new secondary iCloud email.
You can do this in Gmail’s settings by forwarding all of your mail to your new iCloud address. I then set Gmail to archive my mail, using a filter, so it’s out of my Gmail inbox (my iCloud inbox becomes my “working” inbox). In the end, as a bonus, you also can get backups of your mail.
The Iphone 3G is an extension of the before Iphone model. When released, Apple iphone had a ton of problems, they fixed some of all those issues in the 3G model but they still have a extended way to go ahead of they can declare the Iphone excellent. Listed here I will be evaluating Apple’s Apple iphone 3G to LG Cell Phones KU990 Viewty, and will make clear in detail why the Viewty is a much far better option.
