Excellent, that’s exactly what I was looking for, thanks Dennis!

I was getting annoyed with the fact that any mail I deleted in Apple Mail would just get labelled “Deleted Items (Gmail)” in Gmail. Use This Mailbox For is ace!!

Now I just need to try and sort out the same thing for Outlook at work… Wish me luck

To set up email aliases in apple mail, in the accounts preferences screen on the account information tab in the box email address type a comma delimited list of all your email aliases. e.g. :

email1@domain.com, email2@domain.com

then the different addresses can be selected from a drop down list in all new emails and mail automatically replies with the right email address

Something I didn’t include in my post, the outgoing server port is 587 and you have to have the ssl option checked. Other than that, I have it as I described above and it is working. You might want to make sure the box for “Use only this account” is checked on your account settings for the gmail smtp server in case you happen to have more than one mail account.

I’ve done all the settings right according to everything I’ve read, but I still can’t send using gmail’s outgoing server on Mail 3.0

I made a new post that tells how I figured out how to apply multiple labels to a message here.
