While Google Apps Email is very similar to Gmail in most ways, there are a few key differences between the two services:
- Google Apps email addresses are issued by an IT admin, not created by individual users. They use the format 'username@your_domain.com' rather than 'username@gmail.com.'
- The Gmail password reset flow doesn't apply to Google Apps accounts. If you forget your Google Apps password, please contact your IT admin for assistance.
- When setting up POP or IMAP access to your Google Apps mail account, make sure to enter your full email address whenever you're asked for your username or address. However, make sure to use the recommended servers, which include the domain 'gmail.com.'
- If you have a question about your Google Apps account, you can contact your admin for help. If you are the domain admin, you can learn more about managing Google Apps in the Admin Help Center.
- Other minor differences between Google Apps and Gmail are explained in the relevant help center entries.
