  Hi

  I would like the email of my domain to be activated accessed. How can I access my email’s inbox ((email visible only to moderators and staff))? It keeps redirecting to google app. What is a Google App. it is asking for admin login, the moment I try entering my gmail ID ((email visible only to moderators and staff)), it says

  ‘You need to use a Google Apps account to log into Google Admin Console.

  Sign into a Google Apps account to access Google Admin.’

  Please help.

  Regards

  Ali

  Hi,

  What is the domain you’re using? Did you register it through WordPress.com or another registrar?

  I believe your domain’s MX records (the email settings) are currently pointed to Google Apps. Google Apps is a service from Google that allows you to use all their services from your own domain. Instead of a normal Google account (xyz[at]gmail.com), you get to have your own personalized email (xyz[at]yourdomain.com).
  https://google.com/apps

  Google Apps costs $50 a year per mailbox, and it’s worth it if you ask me. If you registered through WordPress.com, and would rather use another email service, Staff can help you with that. Just add the tag modlook to this thread.

  If you registered your domain through another registrar, you will have to remove the MX records pointing to Google Apps and use your preferred email solution. Many registrars offer email hosting, so check with yours.

  Cheers!
