I signed up my Krunk4Ever.com domain to use Google Apps. Hit a couple bumps along the way. Apparently my site had been previously registered for Google Apps. I don’t recall ever doing it, but my memory isn’t exactly great. In order to reset the account, I had to modify my DNS settings to verify that I own the domain. Turns out there wasn’t even an admin account setup for that Google Apps domain.<\/p>\n
One of the reasons I was initially hesitant to sign up for Google Apps was because I had a catch-all account and I recall someone told me that Google Apps didn’t support catch-all. Either I misremembered or they added that feature later, but it appears they now support catch-all. The reason why the catch-all account is important is because I provide unique email addresses for most businesses I deal with. The instructions<\/a> seem simple enough.<\/p>\n However, following those instructions landed me in a grayed out disabled forward address box. Turns out I’m not the only person who hit this issue: Why is the catchall forward address grayed out?<\/a> I tried switching back to the current version (instead of the default of next generation) as suggested by some people, but that didn’t fix the issue.<\/p>\n Given on how much I rely on my catch-all, I was pretty upset this wasn’t working out and was even set on switching back. Then I found this thread: Can’t assign address to catch-all<\/a> and the suggested workaround was to sign up for Google Apps for Business 30-day trial, which would make that field editable. After upgrading to Google Apps for Business, I was able to set the forwarding\/routing address for my catch-all. Annoying that I had to do this to get it working when their help says that the free edition has this feature too.<\/p>\n Things seem to be working so far. I’m decided to continue using my GMail account as my default, so my old @krunk4ever.com email address will just be considered as part of the catch-all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I signed up my Krunk4Ever.com domain to use Google Apps.
