How can I set up Google Apps for Just 1 Email Address?

6 replies
I have a company domain with existing email accounts set up with my hosting account. Most users are using pop3 through their Outlook which is fine.

I however want to create a new email account to be used with Google Apps.

If I update my MX records will that effect all email addresses on my server?

How do I set this up for just 1 email address without affecting the others?

Thanks!

      I'm actually doing this with some other accounts I have.

      The reason this won't work in this situation is because this will be a shared email account with me and one other person on my staff.

      Actually, I'll just create a new dummy gmail account and then I can do this.

      Thanks.

          You can use your personal one. That's what I'm doing for about 5 different POP accounts.

          The only reason I set up a dummy account for this new account is because I'm sharing this email with a co-worker. I don't want them to have access to my personal emails.
