If you have secondary email addresses tied to your Gmail account, using one of them to “send from” on your iPhone and/or iPad is not a straightforward process. Nick Cernis did the research and figured out a way to make it work, although be prepared for a somewhat tedious process to make it all happen:
The short version is that you just list your email addresses separated by a comma in the Address field of the mail settings on your iPhone/iPad. Sounds simple, but it turns out to be important that you follow certain steps in order, and that you set your Gmail address up as an IMAP account, not a Gmail account. If you’re already utterly confused, read on as I attempt to deconfuddle you.
Nick does an exceptional job breaking down each and every step, presenting screenshots to make it as user-proof as possible. Although nobody has mentioned anything of the sort, I really do hope iPhone OS 4.0 solves this problem. There should not be a need to jump through this many hoops just to setup additional “send from” addresses on the iPhone and/or iPad.
Dear iPhone and Blackberry users,
Ever felt like getting your karaoke on but found yourself to be miles away from the nearest karaoke bar? Ever feel like singing off-key with your BFFs but found yourself to be in a totally different country? Ever go camping and suddenly feel the need to play Rock Band? Never fear, technology comes to your rescue! Mobile carriers in Thailand and USA have what they call a ‘mobile karaoke solution’, enabling users to karaoke over the phone. I kid you not. Just in case there weren’t enough people who think they’re awesome singers when they’re actually not.
