What does "shows as iMac" mean? Does it not show your Gmail address as from? Under General->Mail, Contacts, Calendars what is the Default Account set to?

That's great, would be good for you tell us how you fixed it or figured it out should someone else run into the same thing..

It was fairly basic, when I went into; settings; mail, contacts, calendars option... and under accounts I see gmail...under accounts your email address should show and if you click on it you can change all your gmail account information such as name.

I did a test email to make sure and it was successful.
