I have a related question regarding sending email using Pocket Outlook wth Gmail.

I use a mail alias (e.g. johndoe@blah.org) that redirects to my Gmail account (e.g. john.dodo@gmail.com). I would prefer outgoing emails to have the Reply-To field set to johndoe@blah.org so that when people reply to me, that address will be what they reply to rather than my gmail.com address as the blah.org address has been the address I have used forever.

Currently, I have my PC installation Outlook set up to supply my blah.org address in the Reply-To field and have Autosync handle sending of emails from my Pocket PC. This works fine - emails sent from my Pocket Outlook account have the Reply-To field tacked on when Autosync sends the email vi my PC Outlook client.

I tried configuring my Pocket Outlook client to send email directly to gmail.com (without needing to use Autosync). Emails go out fine however I cannot see any way to set my Reply-To field. I have tried:
  • 1. setting the Reply-To setting in my gmail.com Preferences. This works fine for mail sent using the gmail.com web client but seems to be ignored by Pocket Outlook-sourced emails.
    2. setting the e-mail address to john.dodo@blah.org when setting up a new account in Pocket Outlook. Pocket Outlook-sourced emails just keep going out with my john.dodo@gmail.com address.

Can anyone help me with getting Reply-To to be set for Pocket Outlook-sourced emails using gmail.com ? I'd really like to remove my laptop from the process for sending gmail.com emails using my Pocket PC.
