    I have several work gmail accounts that I combined into one. I did this not through a client but rather through the actual gmail web interface. What I mean is that I forwarded all my gmail accounts into 1 main one. I am using Apple's mail client but I noticed when I reply to my email, I am not given the option to choose which email to reply from. I'm worried that the solution to this would be to isolate the accounts and then add them individually to Mail as opposed to being forwarded into 1 account. This will result in having so many mailboxes in Mail, which I don't want :(

    Is there a better way to fix this?

    Thank you.

    Sure. Open Mail, Preferences, Accounts, and select your main GMail account. You'll notice a box labeled Alias, which contains your address for that account. The box is also a drop-down, so click the arrow to make it drop-down, and select 'Edit Aliases', and add your other addresses to the Alias list. Then you'll have a choice when you create or reply to an email.
