- Scenario:
- * I have a Google Account (not GMail) registered as foo@myisp.com.
- * I want to change to GMail as my email provider, dropping foo@myisp.com
- * I don't want to create a new Google Account, as I would have to start over on YouTube, Google Reader, Google Code, Google Docs, etc.
- * I want to keep the GMail account attached to the existing Google Account so Google Docs, Google Buzz, etc are properly integrated.
- What's happened:
- - Create a Google Account as foo@myisp.com
- - Create a GMail Account as foo@gmail.com, attached to the Google Account
- - Send an email from GMail:
- * GMail will arrive with unwanted "From:" of foo@myisp.com - no mention of foo@gmail.com
- - Add foo@gmail.com as an alternate Sender on the gmail.com account and send mail
- * GMail will arrive "From:" foo@gmail.com, but unwanted "Sender:" of foo@myisp.com
- I can't find a way to nuke the unwanted foo@myisp.com completely. This will result in some people responding to the wrong address, which may belong to someone else in the future.
- Some things I have tried:
- * The non-GMail address can't be removed from the alternate sender settings
- * Removing foo@myisp.com from the Google Account and only leaving foo@gmail.com still leaves foo@myisp.com in place in GMail.
- * On deleting GMail from the account, I can't set foo@gmail.com as the account address in advance of re-creating that GMail account.
- I'm after a solution that works completely within GMail, and doesn't rely on my configuring any extra servers - ie, no sending GMail through a third-party smtp server.
