Gmail is it for business? (5 posts)

  • YES!!!! Every time I set up a new email account for a client I always urge them to use Gmail as their email client. I’m not a fan of Outlook or Thunderbird.

  • You can Get started with Google Apps for free with up to 10 custom user accounts. To learn more go to:http://www.google.com/apps/intl/en/group/index.html

    This way you can set up your email as me@mydomain.com

    If you have multiple email accounts, but want you to manage everything in one interface you can accomplish this by either forwarding the other email to me@mydomain.com or use POP3 to download the email into your gmail account.
    mail settings > accounts > Add a POP3 mail account you own

    You can also “send mail as” another email address if you like .  
    mail settings > accounts > and add anther email address to “send mail as”

    I find that Gmail works GREAT for business!



  • @juleswebb You sound like a Gmail expert!!!

  • @amyhallbiz – LOL I don’t know about all that. But I have set up quite a few gmail accounts for clients, and I also get the “how to” or “help” calls.

  • Hi, me too. I’m utilising Gmail for my business. With the same username and password, we can utilise all Google services such as Google Docs, Calendar, Youtube, etc. Gmail & other Google services are always improving from time to time in terms of design & usability. At one time, Gmail asked me either to import contacts & all email from Yahoo Mail into Gmail, I just agree without any hesitation!
