Hi Philippe You can set the Default email address in gmail as your pobox.com address, then configure the account manually on your iPhone as a generic imap account, with your gmail username & password and your pobox.com address as the email address.
Incoming server : imap.gmail.com Outgoing server : smtp.gmail.com You'll get all your email twice if you keep the normal gmail account on your iPhone, but you can always remove the gmail account and replace it with the imap account then swap back when you're less nomadic.
