I'm about to swap my email management from Gmail to Hostgator (my domain). The current mail account on my iPad is set up as a Gmail account, with my domain name (me@mydomain.com) as the email address. (This email address, in turn, is set up on the Gmail side as the default "send as" address.) This arrangement has worked correctly so far, on my iPad, as well as my iPhone and my MacBookPro.
In the Hostgator instructions for setting up my email handling (in my case, to eliminate the Gmail "middleman"): "If you have already setup your email incorrectly, you cannot simply update the settings to be correct. Instead, you need to fully delete the account from the iPad, perform a hard reset, and recreate the entire account with the proper settings."
I assume by "incorrectly" they mean, the way I have it: this being, my domain email address as a Gmail account. Insofar as any of you wise geeks may know, is a "hard reset" of the iPad indeed required? What a hassle!
