Just make a new temporary email address they already come with IMAP/ Forward your real email to this new temp address-you can even delete as email arrive and are forwarded /in your iphone settings, on your Outgoing mail server put your real email address.
You don’t even have to notified any email changes since it would seem that you are sending from the real one.

1. The spam filtering.
2. An email address that is completely separate from my domain.

That’s it. There’s nothing else that is beneficial to me. This method preserves both.

This thread became obsolete as of last week though because Gmail now allows you to use IMAP to connect to their servers.

Your non-gmail account is “synced” only when new email arrives, but it does not work when you erase messages or move them in folders (the equivalent of gmail’s labels). Plus not quite all ISPs provide as much space as Google (I have 4455 MB of mailbox space in my Gmail account at the time of writing). By using this you’re simply bailing out all the benefits of using gmail (except spam filtering perhaps). If you are gonna go this way why use a gmail account in the first place?

When I send an email using Mac Mail, using Gmail’s servers, the sent mail shows up on Gmails servers (seen via the web) but not in any of the Sent Items, or Sent, folders in Mac Mail. How do I get the messages to show up there?

I send all my Dreamhost mail to Gmail for archiving and instant access when I can’t connect via Thunderbird or Mail. One thing that Mike said:

I just wouldn’t have my outbound mails.

This used to bug me, so now I have my desktop mail client include an automatic bcc: to my Gmail address for every sent email (with the + modifier to grab it, skip Inbox, and label as Sent).

That said, I do like the idea of grabbing Gmail and bringing it down via IMAP…so thanks for the post!
