The steps for this will vary depending on how you currently get your email – most likely these settings can be controlled in the control panel of your web or email host. I assume you’re probably already doing this but if not you’ll need to go into your current email settings for your domain and set it to forward your mail to your Gmail account. The first step would be to have mail from your other domain forward to your Gmail account. I recorded 2 videos for you below walking you step-by-step through the entire process. You can still use the steps I shared in yesterday’s post/video to sync your Google Calendars and contacts with your iPhone but you need to turn off the mail option there and follow some special (and somewhat convoluted) steps to get the mail to sync with Gmail AND send from your own domain. I hunted and searched and tested and finally found out how to get this to work. This was unacceptable to me as I wanted emails I sent to come from my business address and didn’t want to confuse my clients, customers, and colleagues. For example even though I use Gmail as my email program I rarely use my Gmail address – instead my FROM address is Gmail handles this perfectly I was disappointed when first configured my iPod Touch a few years back using Google Sync that it ignored these settings and always sent mail from my Gmail address. ![]() I have several different email addresses with different domains names all forwarding mail to Gmail and thanks to it’s flexibility I was able to configure Gmail so that I can send or reply from any of them (with one being the default address for new messages). Those steps work great if you use your Gmail address as your primary email address but they won’t let you send mail from your own domain. In my blog post yesterday I showed you how to configure Google Sync to keep your Gmail, Google Calendar, and Contacts in sync with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch.
