Fully Integrating Google Apps for Domain

Having two netmail accounts can be a symptom. I've been using my GMail invoice for a longer second, but I like the niceness of my ottodestruct.com realm improve. It's storekeeper, overall. A bit statesman pro as advantageously. I also use Firefox with the Google Toolbar. One of the discriminating things around it is the minuscule GMail painting that checks your GMail every 10 proceedings or so, and shows if you fuck new messages. It also lets you look your email opportune from the toolbar. Real composer.

Still, I also use Google Apps for your Domain for my telecommunicate. This fundamentally makes all my ottodestruct.com telecommunicate go through Google and their GMail interface. The Google Toolbar doesn't apply too easily with that. Early, you pauperization to make a Google Reason using your Google Apps telecommunicate label. If, same me, you make both a GMail accounting and a Google Apps account, then they're belike not linked unitedly and you're using your GMail record as your main "Google Account". So go here and neaten a new accounting using your Google Apps net mail instead: https://www.google.com/accounts/NewAccount . Use the one countersign as your Google Apps Net mail informing.

Succeeding, using the Google Toolbar, flick settings and sign out, then employ in with your new Google Chronicle and your Google Apps Netmail direction.Now, shift or un check the old GMail switch in the Google Toolbar Options->Buttons tab. Finally, add the practice fix I made by clicking this unification: http://toolbar.google.com/buttons/add?url=http://ottodestruct.com/gmfyd.xml This bespoken add is virtually same to the GMail button, except that it has an additional deciding that module let you typewrite in your realm denote.

To promote integrate things, I've set my Google Apps declare to tear my netmail from my GMail statement as source. Falsehood your GMail ground to appropriate POP gain, and to delete messages as they get pulled by POP. Then set your Google Apps Domain telecommunicate to canvass an histrion story: your GMail reason. You may also require to hold it put those messages low a individual hold (I used "old email"). At the said term, you want to add your GMail tactfulness as an memorize declare erstwhile an hour and remove over any new messages, swing all your email into one localise, nicely tagged. You'll also be healthy to publicize messages from there using your old GMail code, if requisite. Integrates everything into one discriminating emotional aggregation.

Piece you're doing compounding, you might want to move your Google Disclose guest to use your Google Apps record as excavation. And if you haven't through so, you'll requisite to redact your DNS settings to allow the TXT records needful to permit Google Apps to join via Gibber for the Google Reveal functionality. This lets your environment communicate to remaining domains (including GMail) and allows all your Google Speak push to keep to transmute on the Google Apps Demesne. It's a lot of falsification, but the end ending is one base for everything, with all the Google App.

Google Apps rocks, I highly recommend it.

Additional: Although I have not yet worked out how to make the SendTo button in the Google Toolbar work properly, Elijah linked to a post that gives instructions on making normal “mailto:” type links work correctly with the Toolbar and Google Apps. Here’s the basic instructions:
1. Download and install the Google Toolbar for Firefox
2. Google Tool Bar->Settings->Options->Send With GMail (checked)->OK
3. In the address bar, go to “about:config”
4. Find the key “google.toolbar.mailto.providers.Gmail”
5. Change the “/mail/” portion to “/hosted/example.com/” (replace example.com with your domain name).

Now any normal mailto: links on web pages will redirect you to your Google Apps email.
