For those that know me, you know that I am no fan of Google. I don't trust them in many ways. I don't trust them with my personal information and I don't trust them to keep features I like or come to rely on. They have a history of launching the next greatest thing, to only kill it within the first two years.
I've been able to stop using Google for most things. With one exception, email. The reason being that Yahoo and Hotmail are each missing one feature. The ability to use my own smtp server.
Both services will allow me to 'send mail as' other accounts, but it is really an email hack. The actual from email would be the Yahoo or Hotmail address of the account. The Reply to would then be changed to my personal email. The problem with this is two fold. 1. Other web servers will sometime see this as spam. 2. Sometimes the "from" that the reciepient see's is, "From user@hotmail.com sent on behalf of user@example.com". I don't want people to see my main service email.
So, Hotmail and Yahoo... do me a favor and give me this one feature. I'm ready to jump ship, I just need your help.
