Using Gmail smtp for an account that doesn't have smtp

[stefano.giuliano]

Hi all,
may be this is not a bug of aquamail, but I'm not able to solve a problem I have.
I have 2 Gmail accounts, one registered in the Android accounts list, not the second, for which I use aquamail with imap and smtp.
I have a third account with a provider that use imap but has no smtp server.
I want to use Google smtp server of the second account to send mails with the third account.
I configured the third account in aquamail, but when I send mails, the receiver of the mail see the name and the address of my first account (that is not configured in aquamail).
How is this possible?
Is there a way to solve this problem?

Thanks,
Stefano Giuliano

Hi Paris,
  thank you for your fast reply.
All your suggestions suppose I'm not doing the right things to configure or send the email.
I verified multiple times, also following your suggestions:
I'm doing the right things to configure and send the email.
Please, note that the "from" name and address the destination see are the first account ones, the account that is not configured on Aquamail!
This because Aquamail uses the name and address of the account that is configured on Android, but NOT in aquamail.
May be this because I specified smtp.gmail.com, and I have configured in Android a gmail account.

I want Aquamail to use plain SMTP using smtp.gmail.com, not using Android account!

Thanks again,
  Stefano Giuliano

You will need to add the "additional" account into Gmail on Gmail web site, as an "alias" (identity), so that:

When Gmail's SMTP server sees the "From <third account>" in the message being sent, it knows what this "third account" is.

Without it, Gmail's SMTP server will *rewrite* the From address to become the Gmail address (under which the SMTP session is authenticated).

HI Kostya, thank you, you are right!
The problem is solved, the case is closed.
