  From: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/google-apps-email/

  WordPress.com bloggers can send and receive email from their mapped domains using Google Apps for Domains

  Step 1: Map a top-level domain you already own (not a subdomain, such as blog.example.com) to your WordPress.com blog…

  So, we’d like to do this but it’s with a subdomain. Is this possible?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  To clarify, yes our email addresses will be on the subdomain, in the format (email visible only to moderators and staff) – this is unfortunately non-negotiable.

  Howdy, it’s only possible with a root domain. A subdomain won’t work to run Google Apps from on WordPress.com.
