Hi. Your instructions were perfect! This was very easy to do. Do you know anything about aliases with Gmail? I'm having trouble getting emails to be sent out with my real name because they come across as spam because the sender doesn't match the heading. I think there's something I need to do with Gmail and aliases, but I'm not sure what that is. Again, thanks for the help with trash folder.
