GMail kills "on behalf of" allows 3rd party outbound smtp

Post by complacent »

Finally, if you've got 347k different email accounts that you'd like to keep that way, the benevolent wizards at the big G have a solution for you.

Gmail blog linky

So you've been able to retrieve email from other sources in gmail for a long time... Now you can send from those other accounts within your gmail account.

I have to be honest, they're making it reeeeeely difficult to stay away from them much longer. Cool stuff from teh big G.

between this and the fact that they've recently added their equivalent of yahoo's folders, they're definitely more enticing than in years past.

still fetch-only to iphones though. :picard:

Confession: I left MobileMe. I'm willing to deal with not having push in order to get back to gmail. I think they're pretty much the epitome of what email should be....*and* they continue to improve pretty much just for the sake of improving. Or is it for the sake of keeping us tethered to them while they learn more and more about us?

Either way.....gmail, you had me at hello.

Schweet! Might switch DCAWD over to it since we hit the SMTP limits with Dreamhost occasionally.
