Add Gmail account with custom domain to mail

Hi there,
I've added my standard Gmail account to the Mail app on my macbook air 2013 but i also have a school email from Google that I would like to add as well. This email uses a custom domain name so instead of [email protected] it would be [email protected] I've tried to add it in as a google account and as 'other' but i can't seem to make it work. Would be much appreciated if someone could walk me through the steps.
If you have any questions let me know!

I finally figured out my workaround (I'm using Mavericks).
Go into Mail and Add Account. Then do what wubie317 says, select "Add other account" DO NOT select Google / Gmail.
You will then be asked to enter the mail server addresses for Gmail. The info is below. Good luck!

*** Sent emails from GMAIL account appear in Inbox of´MAIL` ***

I just opend an account with MAIL.
The trasnfer of my emails worked, but all emails (received and sent ones) from my Gmail account appear in the inbox of mail.
All sent ones appear only in the sent box, if I sent them from the mail programm. If I sent any email from my Gmail account the always be transferd all in the inbox of the mail programm.
I don´t havy any clue what to do. I already checkes all settings - I guess...
I need assistance - please!
p.s. it´s a pop account, if this matters...

This is intended behavior with Gmail POP access,
however weird it may seem. Gmail POP access does not
work as a normal POP mail server should (points 4 and
5 below are relevant to your "problem"):
1. Messages downloaded by any conventional POP
mail client are marked as downloaded at the
server, and no longer available to either the
same or any other mail client.
2. To make already downloaded Gmail messages
available for POP access again, you must log into
your Gmail account with a web browser and re-enable
POP downloading for all your messages, which will
cause everything (and I mean everything) still
there to be downloaded again.
3. Any "Remove copy from server" account settings in
Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Advanced have
absolutely no effect on the messages stored on the
server. The reason is that, after being downloaded,
those messages are no longer available to any mail
client, not even to the same client that has just
downloaded them, not even for deleting them or
checking whether they are still there.
4. Messages created and sent using the web interface
will be downloaded by your POP mail client as if they
were incoming messages. You can set up a rule in Mail
to automatically route those messages to the
appropriate Sent mailbox (or to any other mailbox for
that matter) if that's what you want. Although this
may seem weird, it's good because it allows archiving
all messages locally in Mail, regardless of how they
were sent -- as long as you don't access the same
Gmail account with more than one mail client, that
is.
David, thanks for your reply. Yes, point 4 seems to be relevant for my problem. How does it work to "set up a rule in Mail to automatically route those messages to the Sent Mailbox" (in Mail). I want my messages downloaded from my Gmail account to be ordered in the Inbox and Outbox in Mail (like it is ordered in Gmail). The messages which I sent from the gmail account should not appear in the Inbox of Mail...
5. Messages created and sent using a POP mail client
such as Mail are also treated as if they were
incoming messages for POP purposes, just as in 4.
What prevents them from being downloaded is that
Gmail marks them as already downloaded immediately.
They would, however, be downloaded if Gmail settings
were changed as described in 2 above.

How Can I Use a Gmail Account with Multiple Email Addresses in iPhone Mail?

So I have a Gmail account with 4 POP accounts that it checks... Is there a way to get "Reply From" from multiple addresses?
I've tried the following sites... No luck with iOS 5...

You won't be able to reply from your Gmail address from within iCloud though.

Unable to add GMail account... at all

Hello,
I had 2007 iMac for years that worked flawlessly, had it upgraded to Mavericks recently, no problems - had my GMail set up which was pulling down all messages without an issue.
Recently purchased new 2013 iMac with Mavericks. Used Migration Assistant to move everything from old iMac to new. Today I have discovered that my GMail account is not showing in Mail. If I go to System Preferences->Internet Accounts, GMail is there, and the Mail is checked off.... however, there is no mailbox in Mail. I have tried to delete GMail settings and re-add them again, with no avail.
If I open Mail, go to Preferences and click on "Accounts" tab, GMail is not listed there... my other email accounts are, but not GMail.
Any ideas? I am at the end of my wits. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Yes, I have installed the Apple Mail GMail Patch for Mavericks.

Thanks for the help.
I've done as you've suggested and so far it seems to be working. It's been about 30 hours now, I've drained the battery all they way down once, and when I get home this evening I'll try shutting down and switching to my backup battery just to double check that that works. Otherwise, it certainly seems as if it's a profile issue.
So, if that is the case, is it going to be possible to get my contact information that was stored on my old profile? I don't really use the calendar too much, so that's not a huge issue, but I would also like to get my paid apps back too if possible, or some sort of credit so I can buy them again.
Thanks again for the help,
Ryan
Edit: I just swapped out batteries and as expected, everything still works so does look like the profile.

I accidentally set up two accounts. One account with my old e-mail address which I've been using for years and has all of my purchases on it. Now I have a new account with my current e-mail address. How do I disable this new account?

How do I disable this new account? I need to disable the new e-mail address account so that I can add it as an additional e-mail to my old account. THEN, how do I make this new e-mail address my primary e-mail for this old account?

Clearing vendor account with customer

Hi
how can i clear a vendor account with customer. the customer is also created as vendor, vice-versa...
and to print a receipt of that transaction?
thanks

Hi,
If you require clearing between the customer and vendor, the following requirements must be met:
The customer number must have been entered in the corresponding vendor master record.( Control tab)
The vendor number must have been entered in the corresponding customer master record.
The fields "Clrg with vend." or "Clrg with cust." must have been selected in both master records. (Payment transaction tab)

I recently changed my internet service provider and my e mail address. I updated my iTunes account with the new e mail. Now I cannot get updates on my devices, because the login box on each still contains my old e mail. How can I change this please?

Try tapping on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Stores on your devices (Settings > Store if they aren't on iOS 6+) and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on them.

Unable to re-add gmail account to Mail app

I'm trying to re-setup a Google email account that I deleted from my Macbook Pro (Yosemite). I get the following message when trying to set it up in Internet Accounts:
There was a problem setting up the Mail account.
Mail couldn't discover the account settings for the Mail server "mydomain.com".
If I click OK, my contacts, Calendar, and Messages accounts are all configured. Only the Mail account isn't checked (or setup in Mail). When I try to check the box, it immediately unchecks with no error given.
I noted the following log entries in the system log, not sure if they are related:

I've tried setting the account up manually ("Add Other Account...") but that also failed. I've tried repairing within Disk Utilities. I've restart multiple times.
I've verified that IMAP is enabled for this account. I am able to set this account up in the third party app Postbox (another email client for mac) with no issues.
There must be something wrong with my local configuration and I'm out of ideas. Help?

precisely the same issue on 2 computers on 10.9 and 10.10
- the accounts are google apps for business accounts
- imap is on
- 2 step verification is off
- upgrading the 10.9 machines resulted in the same issue/error
- running onyx and cleaning out everything did nothing
- trashing mail prefs nothing
- creating new user account on the macs...same issue
- i can setup the accounts on my own 10.10 machine (ios also works for those 2 accounts)
completely dead in the water....my next step to try is to clean install the 2 effected machine....

Can you use a gmail account with Mail?

I read the previous post about the yahoo email account and I was wondering if the same applies for a Gmail account. It is a free account, and I think that set up all of the information right, however I still cannot complete the setup. Maybe i am setting up the POP information wrong, but I'm not sure.
Thanks

You must enable POP forwarding for the account preferences via webmail access for the account.

yes. delete that account and recreate it as an imap account (gmail allows both). when creating the account using the account wizard uncheck the box to set it up automatically. This checkbox creates a POP account and you want imap.

New issue breaking Gmail when using custom domain name

I have been using my own domain name in conjunction with Gmail since the launch of Gmail. The use case is fairly straightforward -- I have my own domain name and have created an email address alias on this domain ("custom email address') that forwards email to my Gmail account. I have configured Gmail to override the From field with this custom email address. With this configuration, Gmail is happy.
On my Z10, I had created a Gmail email integration account via the Advanced Settings with my custom email address in the "email address" field and my gmail email address as the username with the appropriate gmail server settings. When I continue from the advanced screen, I was taken to the Google account login screen where I grant permissions for my BlackBerry to access my account. On this screen, I logged in using my gmail email address. This worked fine and I received email without incident on my Z10 since I bought it on the Feb launch date ... until this past weekend. My Z10 then suddenly reported that my settings had changed and nothing I could do could convince it to accept the above settings as correct.
If you have a similar configuration and have noticed recent issues, there is a solution. This new "issue" appears to be that when you log into the Google permissions screen during the BB10 email account configuration process (i.e. the Google login page after you enter all the server settings in Advanced section of BB email account setup), you are no longer allowed to enter a username that differs with the custom email address you are setting up. It won't ever tell you that this is the problem. You just get a vague email settings error at the end of the process and you can't get your mail. It is possible that Google is the one who introduced this glitch, since the solution is within your Google account configuration, not BlackBerry. Simply put, you must associate your custom email address with your gmail account login within Google.
To do this, log in to Gmail using your usual gmail address. Click on your Gmail address in the top right corner, select the "Account" link in the drop down. Click the "Edit" link to the right of the Email heading. At the bottom of this edit page add your custom email address in the field next to the label "Add a new alternate address". After you add it, you will need to verify this address via an email that will be in your Gmail account. I probably should have done this long ago, but never had the need to until now.
Now you can get BB email working again. Go back to the BB10 account settings page for your Gmail account. This time when are kicked over to the Google login page to grant permissions to your BlackBerry to access your account, use your custom email address as your Google username and use your usual Gmail password.

Amazing, Thanks !
