An alternative to the app: pull your domain mail into an existing Gmail account on the web.

RECEIVING

  1. Gmail > Settings > See all settings > Accounts and Import.
  2. Under "Check mail from other accounts", click Add a mail account.
  3. Enter your business address, then choose "Import emails from my other account (POP3)".
  4. Username: the full email address. Password as set.
  5. POP server: mail.yourdomain.com, port 995, with SSL ticked.
  6. Tick "Leave a copy of retrieved message on the server" if you also read mail elsewhere.

SENDING

  1. Same settings page, "Send mail as", Add another email address.
  2. Enter your name and business address, untick "Treat as an alias".
  3. SMTP server: mail.yourdomain.com, port 465, SSL, full address as username.
  4. Confirm the verification code Gmail sends.

THE TRADE-OFF

Gmail collects by POP3 on its own schedule, so mail can arrive with a delay of several minutes. For prompt delivery, set the mailbox up properly in a client using IMAP instead.
