  1. Scenario:
  2.  
  3. * I have a Google Account (not GMail) registered as foo@myisp.com.
  4. * I want to change to GMail as my email provider, dropping foo@myisp.com.
  5. * 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.
  6.  
  7.  
  8. What's happened:
  9.  
  10. - Create a Google Account as foo@myisp.com
  11. - Create a GMail Account as foo@gmail.com, attached to the Google Account
  12. - Send an email from GMail:
  13. * GMail will arrive with unwanted "From:" of foo@myisp.com - no mention of foo@gmail.com
  14. - Add foo@gmail.com as an alternate Sender on the gmail.com account and send mail
  15. * GMail will arrive "From:" foo@gmail.com, but unwanted "Sender:" of foo@myisp.com
  16.  
  17. 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.
  18.  
  19.  
  20. Some things I have tried:
  21.  
  22. * The non-GMail address can't be removed from the alternate sender settings
  23. * Removing foo@myisp.com from the Google Account and only leaving foo@gmail.com still leaves foo@myisp.com in place in GMail.
  24. * On deleting GMail from the account, I can't set the GMail account as the account address in advance of re-creating the GMail account.
  25.  
  26.  
  27. 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.
