Tip: Gmail migration: How to send emails for a different domain (not telus.net)
Suppose I have a domain, xyz.com with various email addresses e.g. [email protected] that I use as aliases for [email protected]. Prior to being force--migrated to Gmail, I used to send emails through telus....
This also only works if the email client allows you to change the smtp server. So far I've only been successful on my desktop client (Thunderbird) but neither Android nor iPhone will let me change it (or even see it, for that matter).

The iPhone definitely lets you choose SMTP accounts. You do have to create multiple email services, but once done, you can choose which is the one you wish to use.
It wouldn't upload the screenshots I have (no surprise there 🤐) so I'll have to describe them. On both of my iPhones and my iPad, when I go to OUTGONG MAIL SERVER for the Gmail account, it looks like this:
PRIMARY SERVER
Gmail SMTP Server On >
OTHER SMTP SERVERS
smtp.telus.net On >
Under Gmail SMTP Server, I can move the green slider to turn it off but the Done button is greyed out so I can't make the change permanent.
And on my Android phone, I've tried a half-dozen mail apps and as far as I've been able to figure out, none of them let me configure a different smtp server for Gmail accounts. As soon as I set the IMAP server to imap.gmail.com, Google "takes over" and it sets it up as Gmail, not IMAP.
The only email client I have that can change the smtp server is Thunderbird on my PC.
