How2SetUp Google email for my domain since writing this article Google now charge £33/year for a domain email
One of a set of simple easy to use guides for beginners to set up a Raspberry Pi computer.
This instruction sheet will explain how to get a google email account for your domain, so once
you have created a personal domain, you can receive emails addressed to your domain.
1. You firstly need to register a domain name - we recommend Easily Limited
or GoDaddy.com to register your domain.
2. Once you have your domain name then go to Get started with Google Apps for
and register your domain with google.
Just follow all the instructions and I suggest when you come
to the "Verify my Details" you add a TXT entry to your domain using the control panel from
your Domain Hosting company, in this way you can get the email address without having to host
a website anywhere to begin with.
3. To enable your emails to be accessed from a remote client such as Microsoft Outlook etc you need to
enable pop3 or imap in your google account. This is very simple - just log into the google email you
have just registered.
4. Navigate to www.google.com and you may be logged in - if so you will see your
email address along the top line, or will see a [Sign In] button on the google page.
If you are not logged then log in.
Search along the top bar for [Mail] if you can't find it try [More] then click on
[Mail] to open your emails .
5. Once you are logged into GMail then look along the top bar and click on the Cog symbol
then choose [Mail Settings] then look
for the [Forwarding and POP/IMAP] tab and select it.
5. Finally Enable access to either pop or imap so your email client can connect to
google for you to pick up your emails.
Please NOTE:- The google email account has record limits so is fine for a small
number of emails but you may need to upgrade to the google Business Email service if you
send/receive a high number of emails.
