Problem with iOS 7 and smtp Gmail

Hi everyone,

I chose in the past for a Gmail account because it supported push mails on the iPhone through Exchange.

When Google stopped the push mails through Exchange, I found a work around to keep using my gmail address on my iPhone :

• I created an iCloud email address, to have push mails
• I set a rule in my Gmail that automatically forwarded all incoming mails to my iCloud email address
• I changed the outgoing server of my iCloud address, using smtp.gmail.com so that all outgoing mails of my iCould account was using my Gmail address

It was a bit complicated to set up, but at the end it worked fine and it was transparent for my contacts: they were sending en receiving mails from my Gmail address.

It all worked until... iOS 7. With iOS 6.1.4, it was OK, but since the latest upgrade to iOS 7 my outgoing mails are coming from my iCould and not my Gmail account anymore. The iCloud SMTP server is set as "inactive" and the smtp.gmail.com is set as "active", however emails are sent from my iCloud address...

I don't get it. My iPad is still in 6.1.3 with the same settings as my iPhone 5 in iOS 7: my iPad reacts as it should be, my iPhone doesn't.

Is it an identified bug in iOS 7, is it a problem at Gmail's side?

Thanks for your feedback,

Chris
