I have a 'Email Account Forwarders' email address that has no mail storage on cPanel, its just an address where all mail to that address is forwarded to a user's Gmail address. Is it possible the user can set up an iPhone to receive and send using this email address? I'm not sure what's possible given its some form of redirect.
A forwarder is just a rule for the mailserver, it has neither mail box storage nor credentials to authenticate you for sending mail.
I assume you were thinking of something like this? - using your free Gmail account to send from a different alias (your Cpanel forwarder address) :
But this is far from an ideal setup. Deliverability will suffer to an extent, even if you add spf.google.com to your SPF record in the domain's DNS zone. You will find your messages end up in recipients' Junk/Spam folder more often.
And you will not always be able to hide the fact that you are sending from Gmail. E.g. other Gmail users will see messages from you as sent from "[email protected] via gmail.com".

Thanks @xpy-xpy I understand its fairly lightweight and your reply quickly clarifies it for me. We do a lot of this on desktop Gmail as users just want one mail app to do everything but I was unsure on where to start on an iPhone. I'll do a search for Gmail alias on an iPhone for tips. Might be better to set up a test one for myself to see what works and doesn't. Its going to be clunky whatever we do.
