Hmm, I remember having the same issue but I believe was able to resolve the ‘From’ by setting the send from ‘default’ and syncing with Mail.app (which had the correct From: address).

I was in the same boat as you a few months ago when I started using Google Voice on a regular basis. Same thing when Tasks came out. It just seems much easier to use a standard Gmail account rather than one of the Google Hosted accounts. My own wish is that there was a way for Gmail to correctly set the from address when sending email from a iPhone. No matter what rules are setup online through Gmail, any email sent from the iPhone uses my personal Gmail account.

I use MailPlane on and off, too (for unrelated account, eg: work and personal) and use the web interface primarily. The point being is this outlines how you can use IMAP in Mail.app (assuming other clients can, too) to consolidate email message that should be together (my three personal accounts).

I actually went the other direction and started using MailPlane for all my Gmail and Google Apps accounts. I actually found that by keeping them separate, but easily accessible allowing me to process email faster. Plus I always kept having performance issues with Mail.app.
