Danelope passes on the welcome news that Gmail has added “From:” cloaking to their featureset.
However, I have been unable to access the dialog item in my settings panel, making me suspect that this must be one of those features that Google is deploying to a subset of users in advance of a full-scale rollout.
You have to go to the Settings–>Accounts and add another account. Gmail will send a verification email to that account, and you have to complete the loop. Then you will see a From dropdown when composing email.
I’ve added you as a Google Talk buddy BTW. Get on up on that thing (You can use Adium on the Mac)
Hmmm…this would seem to mean I can shift my Tiny Bidness stuff from Outlook to Gmail. If I could just figure out how to do the POP thing from VersaMail (Treo) without downloading EVERYTHING SINCE THE LAST LOOK, I’d be sorely tempted. Or another Palm mail client, maybe???
(You find the coolest stuff.)
