I have set a me@example.com to Google Apps/Gmail. How can I set a you@example.com?

Question

suppose that my domain is example.com
I have set as a primary email address at Google Apps/Gmail this address me@example.com
However I want to check the email of info@example.com through Google Apps.

I know I can add it through Gmail->Settings->Accounts->Send mail as/Check mail using POP3.

Is there another way around ?

Answer 1

There are three ways to acheive this with google apps (standard or enterprise)

1. Create a 'nickname' (otherwise known as a email alias). This will allow any email sent to info@example.com to appear in the inbox of me@example.com.

2. Create a group (otherwise known as a distribution list). This will allow email sent to info@example.com to appear in the inboxes of me@example.com, you@example.com, or them@example.com. You can have anything from 1 to 1000 users in a group and if you'll be adding other users later this may be the best approach.

3. Create a separate account and check it via pop3 with your existing me@example.com account.

IMHO if its only you accessing this extra account then 1 is your best option, if you think one or two other users might need to access it together now or in the future then go for option 2.

Option 3 is best for email accounts not managed by google apps.

Answer 2

Assuming you have a Google Apps for Business account

You need to add a user account:

• Goto this link
• Login to 'Domain Management'

Or, if you're already logged in under your Apps account...

Goto:

https://www.google.com/a/cpanel/[your_site]/Dashboard

Under the 'Organizations and Users' menu you can add more accounts.

Note: I'm assuming that you already have gmail enabled for your domain so an email account will automatically be added/enabled for new users. If not, you can enable it under the 'Setup' section of the 'Dashboard'.
