How do I setup my Android to work with Google apps and a Google account?


I have a Google/HTC Nexus one with Android 2.1 phone. I have a domain of my own and use e-mail with that domain. So, I need Google Apps for that rather than a Google Account. However, I also want to use Latitude with Maps and I want contacts and calendar syncing to my phone. If you use the same e-mail address for the log-in with Apps and the Account, it gets confused. Does anyone know how to do this? I have tried a few things, but still don't have it working properly. How do I setup my Android to work with Google apps and a Google account? I would be really glad for your assistance. Thanks.

Well, android has a build in email client application that enables you to access the email as your email client. If you have an email on an email account on Google Apps than you can access your email apps account. To setup Google apps and a Google account you have to do the following changes in the account. Enable IMAP access in your Google apps settings. To enable Google apps go to settings and select the Forwarding and POP/IMAP tab. Inside this setting disable forwarding, enable POP for all mail and enable IMAP. Then open email application from your android phone. After opening the email application, you will see full email apps address and the password. Enter the email address and the password then go to next. Choose IMAP on the screen. On the incoming server settings screen, enter your full email apps address and password. In this screen, you will have to enter imap.gmail.com on IMAP server text box, 993 on the Port text box and SSL on Security type and then press next. On outgoing server settings screen, enter smtp.gmail.com on SMTP Server text, 465 on Port text and SSL on Security tab than press next. On account option screen, choose your preferred email checking and notification option and press next. Give your account name and displayed name on outgoing messages then press done.
