The account problem you describe has been a complete mess for a long time now.
However, I suspect that if your user does the new thing to "migrate" their apps mail to unify it with gmail, then this problem will go away. I've been afraid to experiment with it, because of the complete nightmare I experienced the last time I tried to use an apps email account with a non-apps GAE app. So if it works, let us know! -Joshua On Dec 9, 2010, at 3:55 PM, Glenn Blackler wrote: > Hi - > I'm sure this question is answered somewhere, but I haven't been able > to dig through all the information to find anything definitive. > > Here's the situation and the problem: > > We have built a GAE application that is up and running.
