Google For Domains

Wouldn't you just setup the mail account as "Other" rather than Gmail? Then just enter in the server settings and you're online.

I don't have Google for Domains else I'd try.

I'm having the same problem. No ideas at the moment, as it doesn't let you edit away the extra "@gmail.com".

I have a google's App's account, what I did was:

Choose 'Other' from the create mail (or add account)
Choose 'Pop' at the top

Name: your name (whatever it doesn't matter here)
Address : youremail@your googleappsdomain.com
Description: (whatever)

Incoming
Host Name: pop.gmail.com
User Name recent:youremail@your googlappsdomain.com
Password: your googleapps_emailpassword

Outgoing
Host Name: smtp.gmail.com
username youremail@your googleappsdomain.com
password: your googleapps_emailpassword


Tip: using the 'recent:' will help your mobile device just bring down the last several emails this helps reconcile if you have more than one device using pop to get mail from your google account. you don't have to use recent: you can just use 'youremail@your googlappsdomain.com'

Worked great for me.. (make sure you have pop enabled on your google account) Hope this helps.

You only really need to do recent: if you have more than one device doing pop access. If you have only one pop device accessing the account (i.e. the phone) then don't use it gmail will automatically manage the account.

What happens is sometimes if you have two accessing the account gmail will get confused and then one device will download everything. I noticed this with my dopod 838pro, mac and pc accessing the same gmail account via pop.

My biggest problem is that when you download mail only once from GMAIL using POP3.

The "leave" on server option has no effect on Gmail.

So if you still want to get your email on your main email client you have to use a workaround.

I've set up another account and Gmail forwards any message to that other account.

I am still setting up the original account info on the iPhone, so if I reply it's as if I am replying from the main account.

The problem seems to be that the iPhone recognizes the 'pop.gmail.com' server address and assumes the account to be a gmail account, so it falsely appends the @gmail.com part to your existing username.

A simple way to get around this (that isn't too stable) is to change your server from pop.gmail.com to 209.85.199.109, the IP address of pop.gmail.com. This way the iPhone doesn't recognize it and will create a custom account. This is likely to break however, as I have no idea how Google's IP addressing works and if that IP might change.

This isn't that deep of a bug, hopefully we will see a fix for it soon. 🙂

I hope either Apple or Google posts a fix for this as I am unable to access my email using any of the methods described.

I have tried the static IP, as well as using recent: and all combinations. I have tried putting :995 after the POP address and not, and all to no avail. I still can not access my Google Apps for you Domain email.

Very frustrating. Otherwise, the rest of the phone works marvelously. Fortunately I have a .Mac address to tide me over till the fix comes. I would have hoped that since there was a "GMail" solution built into the phone that this would have been considered and hammered out before launch.

Brilliant! Hopefully a long term fix is provided through updates.

Thanks!

erwins instructions work BUT you need to delete the one that was transfered from you mail program and enter a new POP account (not gmail) from the iphone. Then it works...

Read this on some other message board and it worked perfectly, thought I'd pass it along:


You can not use the gmail quick setup on the iphone with domain email.
When you add the account, choose "Other"
Click POP tab and enter as follows, customize what is in the [ ]

+Account Info+
Name- [name]
Address- [[email address]]
Description- [description]

Incoming
Host Name- pop.gmail.com
User Name- recent:[[email address]] (add the recent if you are also
accessing this account with another POP client, ie outlook, apple
mail, thunderbird. If you only access this account via webmail, you
may omit the recent: )
Password- [password]

Outgoing
Host Name- smtp.gmail.com:587 (I don't know if 587 is a must, but it
works!)
User Name- [[email address]]
Password- [password]

Just put "recent:" in front of your username on the "incoming" server setting:

recent:username@yourdomain.com
