What to do to Receive a particular e-mail to anther e-mail address?

How can I configure the iPhone to send/receive mail through Gmail, but using a different e-mail address?

  • I have a pobox.com account whose address I use as my main e-mail address and that forwards my messages to a Gmail address. Eventough that is the address I tell my friends and coleagues, when I send e-mail from my iPhone it uses the default gmail.com address, and so people start to pick that as my e-mail address. How should I configure a Gmail account in the iPhone that uses my pobox.com address for sent messages, instead of the gmail.com address? How should I set up storage of sent/junk/trash messages? How will Gmail archiving work?

I've found a nice step-through, and it does what I need, but messages I delete in my iPhone continue appearing in the Gmail Inbox in the browser because the "inbox" label isn't removed. http://5thirtyone.com/apple/how-to-proper-gmail-imap-for-iphone-apple-mail/
