Here is what I'm able to find using gmail to reply to messages.
The Question: Is it safe to forward all emails received from all my eb accounts to one main email account and reply from it?
The Test:
The email accounts involved:
Email Sender(your customer's email):
AAA111@gmail.com
Email Recipient(you the gmail recipient):
BBB222@gmail.com
The main email(the one all emails are forward to):
CCC333@gmail.com
I setup up mail forwarding from
BBB222@gmail.com to
CCC333@gmail.com.
I setup reply sender on
CCC333@gmail.com so when i reply gmail will make it seem like i sent the email from
BBB222@gmail.com
I sent an email from
AAA111@gmail.com to
BBB222@gmail.com. This email then got forwarded to
CCC333@gmail.com as expected.
I then used
CCC333@gmail.com to reply, but I selected
BBB222@gmail.com as sender so it will seem like the email was sent from
BBB222@gmail.com.
Email sent.
Even though BigG changes the email to make it seem like the email was sent from the original recipient (BBB222@gmail.com) on the front end, however thats not the case on the back end. It shows the original replier details. This can be verified by viewing the email in original format(show original). Show Original - located in the dropdown menu next to the reply button).
If you check Show Original it will show that the email was actually sent by
CCC333@gmail.com and the identifying STMP ip address that is specifically designated to
CCC333@gmail.com
I did not try through ebay messages, but assume its the same thing.
I'd say its risky, but if you decide to anyway, use with caution.
Good luck.
For those who are overwhelmed by the whole stealth idea, dont give up looking for answers and you'll figure it all out. "Whether you believe you can or cannot you are usually right."
