I realize this explanation doesnВґt answer 'why' but that question is for computer philosophers, not emailists, and it isnВґt worth worrying about right now.

In a (compressed) nutshell, leave box ticked if you only really use one address, and the other is just for receiving, AND you basically want everybody to know your main address. HOWEVER, if you untick the box, gmail keeps a crow barВґs distance between the 2 accounts, making it so if you recieve through one account, you reply through that account and no other.

Unchecking the box 'Treat as an alias' fixes these problems.

If you click 'Reply' on an email that got sent from your Alternate email, the 'To:' field will be populated with your Gmail address instead of the person who actually sent it.
