The following worked for me:
1. Login with a yourmailaddress@google.com account as primary e-mail account
2. Download an app using app store, this should work
3. Delete the yourmailaddress@google.com
4. add your yourmailaddress@yourdomain.com

Somewhere i suspect you col skip step 2. , but i did it anyway.

After these steps my android market worked using my google for my domain e-ail address. I only was missing android market functionality, so if you want to use some picasa functionality try the procedure in the article.

Yeah, sucks that you need to create other accounts but in the end it’s worth it, you can find so many good features

Hi, Google changed recently and won’t allow you have the email address used as you said so I’ve now got a new setup

Google Apps: me@mydomain.com
Google Account: mydomain.com@gmail.com

And everything seems to be working fine, not entirely satisfied with the multiple account but it works fine and I haven’t had any problems so far.

@SAndyee I can’t understand your post. You should take that type of post outside.

This is exactly the situation I’m in (and have been in with other Google service, because Google has not seen fit to introduce a system-wide, fully-functional GAFYD account).

Great to see your account here, but I’m concerned…

Both my GAFYD and my Google accounts are mail at robert andrews dot co dot uk.

On https://www.google.com/accounts/UpdateEmail, when I re-enter that address as the New E-mail Address, just to test, Google says: “A user with the email you specified already exists.”

I’m curious as to whether Google is referring to a) this Google Account itself, b) my Google Apps account or, c) another Google Account I’ve created with that same email address and forgotten about.

I have indeed created some other accounts in the past which may be associated with that email address. But I have no idea how to find them and, of course, the password retrieval process – just like Google’s support – is little help.

Any ideas please? I wanted to test this before going in and removing this address as my Google Account’s primary address, just in case I lose the ability to use that address with that account. And it looks like a good job I did!

hi Matthew

I found your post as I was trying to rationalise my GAFYD account and my gmail/google account and my HTC Desire.

I do not quite understand what you mean by these 2 accounts
* Google Apps for my domain (GAFYD): me@mydomain.com
* Google Account: me@mydomain.com

As far as I understand it, google does not let you have a GAFYD and google account that have the same email address.
how have you achieved this?

thanks

daniel
