I had this very issue when I started using mutt with google apps (previously I'd just been using the gmail interface (ugh)) Anyways, it only lets you set your From: header to an address you've confirmed through the gmail interface, by doing this: gear icon -> settings -> accounts -> Add another email address you own Note that the envelope sender of the email will *always* be your primary address. Even if you have another domain aliased (like I do), you cannot change your envelope sender address. Because of this, I now just send my emails out through my colo box, even though the MX is with google. I need to be able to set my From: and envelope sender to whatever I want without having to jump through silly hoops. I like gmail's spam filtering, but as a general purpose mail service, its limitations are getting to me a bit. I'd definitely be willing to pay for extended functionality, but it seems the only real benefits you get from a paid account are extra storage and additional support. Anywho, sidetracked, those are the limitations I've found with gmail's smtp service so far, and likely will be the only ones I find since I am no longer using it. -Jeremy
