Question Asked: How Do I Change My Google Apps E-mail URL?

Comment On This »

Aug 4th, 2009

Depending on how you signed up, Google Apps will setup one of two URLs for your e-mail to be accessible from the web:

  • http://mail.yoursite.com
  • http://www.google.com/a/yoursite.com

By default, you’ll get the second one, with the Google address.

If you have the ability to add a CNAME with your webhost, you can set up mail.yoursite.com.

This is generally easier to remember, when you need to give it to people who have a mailbox on your domain.

To change it, go into your Dashboard on Google Apps.  You can generally get there by clicking “Manage This Domain” in the top right corner of your Gmail inbox. (If you’re an administrator.)

Then click “Email” in the “Service Settings” section.

The first option on the page is “Web address”, simply click the “Change URL” link.

You can set a custom CNAME, or select the default address from Google.

Be sure to save your changes when you’re done.
