I thought this blog was superb and everything that you referenced to was quite relevant to the cause. Cheers.
This steps make it almost impossible to not set up this account correctly. There are a couple of screens that are a little out of date, but otherwise great work. Thanks.
great, comprehensive tutorial! i am using this service provided by google for some time now (also with arvixe mail accounts) and it works like a charm.
afaik they got rid of the pesky you-can-add-5-accounts-only policy. at least gmail doesn’t complain if i wanted to add another account to my existing 5.
gj arvixe for pointing this great feature out to you customers!
Why not just forward your arvixe email to the email account you want to read it from? (whether gmail or something else).
