Using a university email address with Gmail for centralized email management can lead to issues with email headers displaying "On Behalf Of" messages. This occurs when the university email is not properly authenticated with Gmail's outbound email server. To prevent this, users should authenticate their university email address in Gmail settings, allowing emails to be sent without revealing the Gmail address. This setup maintains privacy while ensuring a streamlined email experience. Concerns about privacy and trust in email communications are highlighted, suggesting that revealing the sending email address may raise suspicions among recipients.

Okay, so basically I have a university email address and a gmail account. Generally I autoforward all emails to my gmail account and reply to the emails by using an option that replies to emails by my university address rather than my Gmail account. But sometimes this option results in this message occurring in the header of the previous reply:

"From: n/a [mailto:n/a ] On Behalf Of XXXXX"

Does anyone know an easy way to prevent this from happening? I want a centralized Gmail address for all the emails I use, but yet I don't necessarily want people to know my gmail address. I could just create another email address but that means the inconvenience of checking (and backing up) two email accounts.

If not, do a YouTube search and a smorgasbord of solutions will be returned. What I want to mention is that I chose to use a debloated Windows from a debloater. There are many available options, e.g., Chris Titus Utilities (I used a product called Velotic, which also features AI to prevent your computer from overheating etc...
I have been idly browsing what Apple have to offer with their new iPhone17. There is mention of 'Vapour cooling' to deal with the heat generated. Would that be the same sort of idea that was used in 'Heat Pipes' where water evaporated at the processor end and liquid water was returned from the cool end and back along a wick. At the extreme high power end, Vapour Phase Cooling has been used in multi-kW RF transmitters where (pure) water was pumped to the Anode / or alternative Collector and...
