On Behalf Of... No One!

Recently, exciting news came from Google stating that when you use your Gmail account to send an email from another email account, the "on behalf of" your Gmail address will not appear! This was great news as it had been quite annoying to have that notification appear and had often deterred many of us from using Gmail for managing multiple email accounts.

Better than this even, Google is stating that:
Instead of using Gmail's servers to send the message, we'll use the servers where your other email address lives. Since Gmail isn't the originating domain, we don't have to include "Sender" info in the header. No more "on behalf of."
This makes me think that there may be a chance we can now use Gmail with our MCSD Email and avoid being spammed. I am going to try this out and will report on my findings. Keep your fingers crossed!

I am sad to report that I have attempted to use this feature in several experiments with MCSD Email and cannot make it function correctly. I have not given up, yet, though, and will continue to report any new developments!
