Gmail Custom 'From' And BlackBerry Integration

Hey,

 

I currently have my BlackBerry Bold 9000 setup to receive my Gmail E-mail via BIS. This works fine and I am pleased with it. I am wanting to consolidate all my E-mail Accounts into Gmail and let it handle it. Gmail allows you to do this from their Settings Page. I have one problem though, If I was to do this, how would I configure the BlackBerry to allow me to Send From the other e-mail accounts which are setup with Gmail. By default, it will send all mail from the Gmail address. Is it possible to change the From Address on the BlackBerry to one of the other accounts setup in Gmail? Are there any Gmail Add-in's which will allow you to do this. At present, it works fine from the Gmail Web Interface when Composing an E-mail, it lets you select which E-mail Account you would like to send that particular E-mail from.

 

Any input would be appreciated.

 

Cheers.

Re: Gmail Custom 'From' And BlackBerry Integration

Would you remove the other accounts from your BIS setup? I know that with multiple emails setup that the BlackBerry will have a CMIME service book for each integrated BIS account. So when you compose an email you can change the "Send Using" field to a different account. So if you keep the other BIS accounts it may work. I'm not positive however. If you delete the other BIS accounts and just keep Gmail then I'm not sure it would work b/c then you'd only have 1 CMIME book on the BlackBerry.

Re: Gmail Custom 'From' And BlackBerry Integration

Hey,

 

That is an Option. However, this would mean that when I receive an E-mail at one of these E-mail Accounts it will also be received at the Gmail Account, meaning that it would be Pushed to the Device Twice. The other problem with this Option is that if I sent an e-mail with one of these Accounts, it will remain in the Sent Items folder of that Account and not the Gmail Account. The integration from Custom From should be included in the Enhanced Gmail Plugin which should recognize if you have other accounts associated with your Gmail Account. Is there any Idea if this feature will be supported in any way?

 

Cheers

I have no idea honestly. I haven't used the Enhanced Gmail plugin. To solve the duplicate email problem you could create a filter through the BIS setup.
