Email Addresses
- Your email address: Enter your Gmail address, or another address at which you want to receive email from iGet Mobile.
- From Address: The Gmail service does not allow you to send email that appears to be from an address other than your Gmail address, but it won't generate an error if you try. It will simply rewrite the address in the From header. Nevertheless, you probably shouldn't try to fight the power in this instance. So, if you entered your Gmail address in the Your Email Address field above, you can leave this blank for the default behavior. On the other hand, if you specified a different email address in the Your Email Address field, then you should enter you Gmail address here.
- From Name: Enter any name you like, or leave blank for the default ("iGet Mobile"). .
