Sorry, I didn't see this comment until Tracy replied to it ... 

Yes, you can do it.  I do it and support it for users, like this:
We have a domain which is hosted on Office365 (or whatever).  The MX record 
points to o365.  Create a user account (or whatever) and forward it to 
[email protected].  Now, obviously, Joe can receive his company email at gmail, 
but the problem is sending mail.  By default, if you just add a "send from" 
account to a gmail, then you have the problem you described.  "From 
[email protected] On Behalf Of [email protected]"

The solution is to add the "Send As" address to gmail, but use the external 
SMTP option.  This way, Joe reads his email on gmail, and when he sends mail, 
gmail just acts like any other SMTP client, and sends the mail out through o365 
SMTP servers.  Now it truly *is* seamless.  Except obviously, the lack of 
support for the company addressbook, company calendar, OOF messages, rules, 
spam filter, etc.
