Using Multiple Email Addresses With Google Account
Why would I want to do that? Well, managing multiple accounts can be a hassle. I have separate Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo Mail, Twitter, company email, ... accounts. Sometime 1 single inbox/email address is all I need. I feel that the world will be a better place if I can just maintain a single acount for all services. Projects like OpenID also provide similar convenient.
Google gives you freedom. It does not force you to use Gmail. In fact you can even forward all emails, sent to your Gmail address, to any other email address you want. You can use your existing (non Google) email address to sign up for a Google account. And this Google account can be linked to multiple email addresses.
From Blog |
Suppose you have bought a domain name (e.g. mydomain.com), and created a Google Apps account to manage it. You already have a Gmail address and used it to access your Blogger, Youtube, Picasa services. This is how you can use you existing Google services with your new domain name:
- Create a new personalized email address (e.g. myname@mydomain.com) through the Google Apps Dashboard.
- (Optional) Forward all your mail from myname@mydomain.com to your existing Gmail inbox. In this way, you only have to maintain 1 inbox.
- Associate this new email address to you existing Google account (as shown in earlier picture).
- Now you can sign in to your existing Google services with the new email address.
