changing from email with gmail

[snapper07]

I've got my own email address and use it on my iphone and also have it routed through gmail i prefer the way gmail works with the iphone but when i send or reply to mail through the gmail account the from address that the person receives the email from is my gmail account which is not good when I'm sending my business emails!

Is there any way round this so it looks like it's from my own domain email?
I have set up the gmail account to send from my domain on the web side of things.

Thanks in advance

I think you need to make the account you want it sent from as the default account, rather than the gmail one.

In the settings under account on gmail where you set up your second account there is the option to reply to emails using the account it was originally sent to or the default account(gmail).

hi thanks i've done all that on my gmail account it sends emails that look like there from my name@domainname.com address when on my computer but when i send them from the gmail account on my iphone they still say they are from my name@gmail.com address.

ive just found this on gmails site

"Setting custom 'From:' addresses in my mail client
First, set up the custom address in your Gmail account on the web. Learn how.
Then just follow the client-specific instructions below:
iPhone

Tap Settings > Mail > [your Gmail account] > Address.
Edit the 'Address' field with your desired email address, and you're done."

all sounds very simple but when i go back into my gmail account on iphone and it checks for messages i get an error which says.
" Cannot get mail. The connection to the server "imap.gmail.com" failed"

Has any one done this and it's work am i missing a trick?

I have done this by configuring my Gmail account manually (using the 'other' button and setting my main business email as my outgoing address.
