Email Forwarding and Multiple Accounts

After talking with some of you, I've realized that it may be helpful to share a few tips and tricks. I'll start with email forwarding.

I realize that all of you have other Gmail accounts that you use more frequently than your new rezmanbrown email. This is completely fine. In fact, you can actually forward all of your rezmanbrown emails to your Gmail address. Here's how you do it:

- Click Settings at the top of any Gmail page, and open the Forwarding and POP/IMAP tab. From the first drop-down menu in the Forwarding section, select 'Add new email address.'
- Enter the email address to which you'd like your messages forwarded.
- For your security, Gmail will send a verification to that email address.
- Open your forwarding email account, and find the confirmation message from the Gmail team.
- Click the verification link in that email.
- Back in your Gmail account, select the 'Forward a copy of incoming mail to...' option and select your forwarding address from the drop-down menu.
- Select the action you'd like your messages to take from the drop-down menu. You can choose to keep Gmail's copy of the message in your inbox, or you can send it automatically to All Mail or Trash.
- Click Save Changes.

And just like that, you're done.

Another tip I think you might find useful is being able to log into multiple accounts at once. To do so, just visit google.com/accounts and click the link next to "Multiple sign-in." After you sign into your first account, you can sign in with up to two additional accounts from the new accounts menu in the upper right hand corner of Gmail, then easily toggle back and forth between them. You can even open multiple Gmail tabs — one for each of your accounts.

I hope you guys can find these tips useful; in particular the first one. And, as always, let me know if you have any trouble.

Welcome to Rezmanbrown Industries

This is the official blog of Rezmanbrown Industries - <insert slogan here>. This blog will include updates to the rezmanbrown.com website and any additional features that get added. The purpose of this post is to highlight the changes that have been and will continue to be made regarding Google Apps integration.

Rezmanbrown Industries has teamed up with Google to create email addresses for all of its employees. I imagine that most of you who are reading this have already been given an official @rezmanbrown.com email address. If you haven't and would like one, please let me know. Yes, this is how you get "hired" at Rezmanbrown Industries. As you can tell, we have quite a rigorous interview process.

We have encountered an issue with email forwarding from your RMB address to another email address. That issue is currently being investigated, and I will make a post here when it is resolved. Otherwise, the email accounts should be fully functioning, so please feel free to use them as you wish.

I will be sending all official RMB emails to those addresses instead of personal addresses from now on. Hopefully this won't be much of an inconvenience, especially once the email forwarding issue is resolved.

If you have any questions, please use the comment section to ask them. Otherwise, welcome to Rezmanbrown Industries!

UPDATE: The forwarding issue has been fixed. Everything should work now.
