GMail for your domain

Discussion in 'General Business' started by Triexa, Mar 21, 2007.

    I've been approved to have GMail for my domain, which I love...

    But is there any way I can link my accounts?

    For example, I can log in under one account username and have all my mail for sales@, support@, me@, etc...

    Like outlook, I have my single account with 5+ e-mail accounts.

    I think that you can set up a system like this:

    , , , etc

    ..then in gmail, I believe "settings" >> "accounts" >> "get email from another account" lets you input those addresses and have everything sent to your gmail account instead. And, when you reply, it gets sent as "admin@mydomain.com" instead of your gmail address. I haven't played around with this yet, but it sounds like a great feature.

    Yes, you can use Outlook to read your email hosted at google. And you can have multiple accounts, up to the max set up for your domain name. Check the google help section for instruction on setting outlook for google email.

    That's not quite what I want. I use outlook to manage my domain's email. I want to change it over to google.

    But I want to have all my mail in one spot, rather than having to log in and out of each account to check mail.

    Why don't you just set up e-mail forwarders for the other accounts to go into the one account you normally check. That way all the e-mails will go to the one e-mail account.

    I agree, this is the easiest way. However some email domain forwarders forward to your account and when you reply.. the email shows up..

    Yes, there isn't no way around it unless it's not a big deal to reply with the main account where you have the e-mail forwarded. Since it is coming from the same domain, it may not be a big deal. But at least when mail is received, you won't have to check each account.

    I do want to reply to each e-mail with the appropriate "from". There are multiple domains. So forwarding the e-mails is out of the question

    No offense, but I think that's a horrible idea. Most people would just hit reply and not even notice who it is going to... As well, GMail won't let you just send your e-mail from another account, so if u wanted to be from noreply, that would have to be the account... :(

    You can always log into the account you need to reply to and send the reply from there. The forwarder just sends a copy of the e-mail to your main mail account. It still goes to the original account also. This is the way I handle e-mails from multiple domains.

    Set up each GMail account with a fowarder but you can add accounts onto your main account which lets you send from the account. if you need help setting it up PM me.

    i think the best way for you is to do the following :
    enter the admin area for your gmail >> user accounts >> "choose ur main account" >> go down to :
    and add nicknames for your email from this link " Add a nickname: "
    :)

    Indeed, it is great.
    I started with BigMailBox, Everyone.Net and Gawab years ago, and they all turned unreliable afterall. Let's see what Google has to give. So far so good.

    Okay I've got it all set up, mail from multiple accounts goes through to the inbox. But when I reply to each, it sends from the main account... not the one it was sent to?

    Edit: Nevermind, got it :)

    It also allows me to change the URL I use to access it. It says:
    "To enable your custom URLs, you must create CNAME records with your domain host."

    When I look at my server's DNS, all subdomains created are of type "A", not "CNAME"...?

    Who are you domaining with?
    My advice would be to use MyDomain's DNS manager which is free, easy to use, and no issues.
