Answer 1

Just set the from:

from(array('my@gmail.com' => 'Your Name'));
$email->to('foo@stackoverflow.com');
$email->subject('Sent from Gmail');
$email->send('My message'); // or use a template etc

should do it.

You may want to set the sender as well; I'm not 100% but I imagine it will be useful when sending email "from" gmail via your own website; perhaps to stop the email being picked up as spam.

$email->sender('noreply@mydomain.com', 'MyApp emailer');
