How to Setup Outlook to Ghost an Email Account through Gmail

I work as the pastor of a congregation within the United Church of Christ, and recently, because our internet service provider let too much spam through to my email, I decided to use a Gmail account, which has much better spam filters.

But, I still wanted every email I sent to appear to be coming from our church's server, and not have the gmail address appear in the headers.

So, the following shows what I did to successfully accomplish that. Note that I am using Outlook 2003 on an XP computer.

First, of course, I had to setup a Gmail account.

Second, I used Tools|Email Accounts|Add a new e-mail account, POP3 option, clicking Next when appropriate, and setup the initial POP3 settings as below.














After that, I clicked More Settings... and setup those tabs as you see here.
