    I am setting up a new domain and am going to be using google apps for domain. Say I want to have these addresses:






    These will be managed by a couple of people with access to all.

    How should they be created?
    1 Account with 4 nicknames or
    4 Accounts, 1 email each?

    Eventually it is quite likely these will need to be separated but for now it would be annoying having to log into 4 different accounts...

    Maybe the best solution would be to "Forward a copy of incoming mail to <master account> and keep a copy" ? That way we could use a temporary master account that has access to all, but each account is already set up to be individual?

    Sorry, im blabbing on... hopefully someone follows and can offer a recommendation :)

    I would suggest having all four in one account, for now atleast. When you get to much mail for one account to hold, you can either upgrade to the paid account of google apps, or figure something else out. Like you said, it'd be such a hassle to have to log into 4 different accounts.

    If you know you're going to have 4 separate accounts at some point in the future, you should set them up now. Then, like you said, just set up a filter in Gmail to forward a copy (because you'll probably want the originals when you switch to 4 individual accounts) to one main address for now. I can't see any reason not to do it that way.

    LOl.. I don't really understand your question but I would suggest different accounts. Also each have 6GB limited so I don't quite agree with bizman413.. Sure Yahoo is unlimited but even 5GB can support more than enough mails for a year.. :)

    I'd say until you have tons of emails to deal with, go with one account so you can keep track of replied emails. When we started our business we went through the same thing, and decided to go with one account.

    Each individual account could be set up to forward to the "main account" until its not feasible anymore...

    An original copy would still be in each account, but of course any replies wouldn't be (or any way we could forward replies through original accounts? :))...

    I looked it up last night, and for $50 a year you can get an account with 25 GB. Maybe I'm missing something, but I thought your only problem with getting one account is that you could run out of space. Am i right, or is there another issue?
