how to hide your gmail address if you are using multiple personalities/accounts

[marcnyc]

hello,
i used gmail on a daily (more like: hourly!) basis to check all the
emails from all my accounts and I reply to all these emails from
within gmail, since I have multiple accounts/personalities set up...
however I noticed that some softwares like entourage show my gmail
address... in fact the messages show something like "From: x...@xyz.com
(through/by way of xyz @ gmail.com)"... I guess it gets it from the
header...
is it possible to have the gmail address completely removed so that I
can keep that private when I am writing from my work account/
personality?
thanks

No. GMail is properly employing the "Sender" Header field to provide
protection against spam filters on the receiving side. These clients
are improperly employing it. The proper solution is for these
companies to stop mis-using it, but that's unlikely.

You basically have 2 options:
1) Accept it, because if people click "reply" it'll come back to your
work address because of "reply-to" header fields; making it cosmetic
2) Send from your work account directly. Since only then is it TRULY
"from" your work account, there's less likelihood it'll be thought
spam.

If you register your domain with Google Apps for Your Domain (http://
www.google.com/a/help/intl/en/admins/editions_spe.html) and use the G-
mail attached directly to your domain, rather than a personality from
standard Gmail, then the from and sender addresses will be your local
domain, and you can completely get rid of the @gmail.com.

Best regards,

What if I use the feature I saw advertised for using gmail with your
domain... would that help?

Sorry Ken, I had not read your reply before I replied...
So if I have a domain called abc.com and I do that and then I want to
send an email from a different personality will the abc.com domain be
the one always shown?

If you're using GAFYD at abc.com, then any address you send from in
@abc.com will show up as the real from address.
You can also register addresses at other domains, but you'll get the
same sender "on behalf of" header.
Basically gmail compares the domain you're "logged into" (which is
gmail.com if you're not using GAFYD)- if it's the same domain, you can
send from and address at the domain without a sender header. If the
domains are different, it puts in the sender header.
Good luck!
