Are you frustrated at having paid for Google Aps to look after your business email and now find that every email has “blahblah@gmail on behalf of Your Name”?
Unfortunately the problem seems to be bigger than Google would like, so while you’re waiting for an answer from Google, my suggestion is to:
1. Watch this thread
http://groups.google.com/group/Gmail-Help-Message-Delivery-en/browse_thread/thread/f651cb1db5d9dd23#
- and hopefully “soon” will soon be replaced with an approximate date… soon.
2. In the meantime
I’d recommend using Thunderbird and a regular use of MozBackup.
If, like me, you find Google Calendar to be indispensable, use the “Provider for Google Calendar” add-on for Thunderbird.
I know these steps aren’t a direct fix for Gmail and it is very frustrating that Google has marketed Google Apps to SMEs with this “on behalf of” situation in place for over a year, but those steps above might save some frustrated people throwing computers out the nearest window in the meantime 
Download link for Thunderbird:

In closing; I suggest anyone frustrated with the situation take a look at the links above and don’t let the problem beat you down. It’s not worth it. Spend that business time on your business, where it belongs.
Take care,
Trent
