Hi Folks,
Gmail is fast.
Gmail is easy to use.
Gmail is virus and spam free.
Gmail is web based and universally accessible.
But, for most internet users, the biggest turn off is the fact that you cannot use your own domain name with Gmail. In fact no free webmail service is known to me which provides this facility as on today.
However there is a workaround! You can use the “cool and fast” interface of Gmail and send/receive mails using your “professional” email ID using your own domain name.
- Grab a domain name. Register it from any leading registrar
- Host the domain on a reliable server
- Create an Email account. Say you created yourname@yourdomainname.com
- Open a Gmail account say yourname@gmail.com
- Now you can set a forwarder in your server to forward all mails coming to yourname@yourdomainname.com to yourname@gmail.com. Thus you are keeping a copy of all incoming emails on your server and sending a copy to your Gmail account so that you can access it from there.
- Now log into your Gmail account. Go to Settings => Accounts. Click on Add another email address. Enter yourname@yourdomainname.com email address there and confirm.
- Now Google will send you a verification email. Since it will be sent to yourname@yourdomainname.com, it will be forwarded to yourname@gmail.com. So you can instantly check that and enter the validation code.
- Once validated, you can again go to Settings => Account and mark this account as your default account.
- Now, whenever you will send an email, it will go from yourname@yourdomainname.com even when you are sending it from your Gmail account. And of course all replies will come to your gmail interface as yourname@yourdomainname.com emails are forwarded there.
Enjoy the productivity enhancement Gmail offers to you without losing on your brand image.

Or, you could just sign up for GMail for your domain….

It is nice to see corporate mailing solution in the pipeline. I have just signed up for the Beta.
The information they collected during this process makes me feel that they will make it paid service.
Lets wait and watch.

I did hear about this from you last time u discussed but i was planning to use it by not keeping a local copy first – thus reducing the bandwith usage of our own server.
Now you can also add a POP access to your own email account for which you have POP access.
but Gmail doesn’t displays the new incoming mails as quickly. It takes a lot of time to fetch the new mails.
