How I created a Google Apps [email protected] gmail account when I already had a Google Account called
[email protected]:
1) While signed in to [email protected] Google Account, I created a temporary @gmail.com email address.
This effectively enabled me to alternatively log into my existing Google Account via that @gmail.com address
2) I logged out and signed up for Google Apps with username [email protected]
3) I added a 'jtauber' user under the jtauber.com Google Apps domain and gave it Super Admin privileges.
That effectively shut out my ability to log into my original Google Account with [email protected] but
I still can using the temporary @gmail.com address created in step 1.
Note that anything linked to original [email protected] Google Account was now under the
temporary @gmail.com. This included google groups, google analytics, web alerts, etc. So:
4) Logged into various Google services like with my temporary @gmail.com address and added
[email protected] as an admin
The missing piece is my [email protected] Google+ account is still under the temporary @gmail.com address
and can't yet be moved. But I believe Google is working on something to let you migrate Google+ accounts.
