•  Go to this Gmail Help section  and select the mail application you use. If you are unsure, you can click Help, then About from the top menu to find out.
• Once in the guide, click Skip step 1 “Enable POP” as this is on by default.
• Click the “2. Configure” link for the setup guide and follow all of the steps.

• By default Google apps email will save a copy of your SENT mail in your Webmail. This is great as you can access your sent email from anywhere. HOWEVER, this may turn up in your Inbox on your mail application. If this is the case, you will need to Setup a Mail Rule to move sent messages to another folder - view details on configuring mail rules here.

•  We recommend setting your email up the ONE computer that you use the most and to use Webmail to access your email from anywhere else. To access your Webmail, just type http://webmail.YOURDOMAIN.co.nz, then login using your email address and password.
• If you are certain you need email on MORE than one computer, regular POP email (as you are probably using now) might not be right for you. Please give us a call to discuss your email options.
