Google needs to clarify how this works, because it's not obvious at all. What you need to do is generate access codes application-specific passwords for each client you want to authenticate to your Google account. You'll then enter that access code application-specific password instead of your password or password + verification code. You can generate these ...

Yes you can do this but not without a little bit of hacking around.
From my answer at Equivalent of 'archive' for priority inbox \ multiple inbox :
The only way that I have found to do it is either with the element inspector in chrome/safari or with firebug in firefox. The good news is that once you have made the settings change it will work in all ...

You can set this up as either an alias domain on your existing Apps account or as a new Apps account, entering mail.domain.com as the domain in the set up process
You will need to set up the correct DNS records against mail.domain.com.
With an Apps domain alias all users are mirrored, i.e.:
mail for user1@mail.domain.com will be recieved by ...

Using email group is one option but if you want to be able to Send As you might need a shared mailbox. I'm not completely sure but I don't think you can configure Send As from a group.
If you are using Premier edition, you can create a shared mailbox and then give each user access to that account. They will be able to then open that mailbox from their ...

This is possible, but apparently only through the Provisioning API, witch is only available to Premier and Education Edition domains.
If you don't have one of those, you could simply create an alias for that account and set up a custom from address, so new mail is sent from that alias.

Each user can add the group address to the list of accounts that they can send mail from. These steps will need to be repeated for each user.
In Mail Settings > Accounts, click Add another email address you own
Enter the group email address, and change the name to something appropriate for the group email address.
Send the verification email (it will be ...

Set up forwarding the old account to the new.
When I changed domains I did this and went one better - I added a filter to label all mail that was forwarded from the old account. So now I can see it at a glance and go and change my details on whatever website is sending to the old address today.

Sam Ruby posted a workaround:
From the message dropdown, select Show original, then from the browser select Save Page As....
With a text editor, find the line containing X-From_:. Copy this line to the top of the file, then modify that first line by removing the X- and _: characters. Save the file.
Now you case use mutt on that file (example: mutt -f ...

Despite the possibilities you listed, you can also create mail aliases to your main account (if you're the only one who should get the mail otherwise I'd create groups).
Users and Groups > Your Main Address > Add nickname > Type it in > Save changes

There is an auditing API available in Business, Education and ISP accounts that will allow you to download the contents of a user's GMail account including spam, sent and deleted items.
Google doesn't provide a GUI for it, but some third-party software, such as Appogee DMS, does.

Short answer: Yes.
However, there are some things I think I should say about that approach.
For completely unrelated sites, it's probably best to sign up for completely unrelated Google Apps accounts. Domain aliases will work, but all sites will share the same limitations on how many users can be created (quotas). Separate accounts will each have their own ...

It seems like this was enabled last year. Here is the blog-post:

We needed to setup a distribution list where there were many aliases but they all were delivered to the same users. The best approach we found was creating a fake user account, setting up aliases on that account, forwarding the email to a real group, and using the group membership function to setup the distribution list. Works reasonably well, but having ...

This should be possible, but may be disabled by your administrator. We use Gmail/Google Apps at work, and I believe the administrators only allowed themes a month before it was released to our organization.
If themes were enabled, you would see them under the "Settings > Themes" menu. I can see that option from my Google Apps account.
The list at Google ...

Not possible, and unlikely to ever be possible given that it effectively constitutes a forged from address, which Gmail goes to some lengths to protect against (eg requiring verification for send-as aliases).
I miss this feature from mutt, but not so much that it wasn't worth the switch.

Open the "Settings" tab at the top, select "Email" under "Services" from the menu at the left, then select the "Default routing" tab. Click "Add Setting".
You can now decide between "Single recipient" or "Pattern match" if you have more than one. I chose to use a pattern. My pattern looks something like:
(alias1|alias2|alias3)@mydomain.com
Make sure that ...

You have two options, the one that gives you the most control, setting up a google apps account, or the one that is easiest to setup, using your host's pop3 in gmail.
I personally use the first option. I've currently got Google Apps setup on my own domain, dkuntz2.com. The gmail account for my apps (don@dkuntz2.com) is set to forward all mail to my gmail ...

The e-mail fetcher would only fetch new e-mails that are on the inbox of the POP account.
IMAP is the the way to go. Here's a quote from another guide:
It was simple: I merely added Gmail as an IMAP account to my Apple Mail client, then just dragged folder-by-folder all the messages important to me onto my Gmail account. It took a while to transfer all ...

I haven't tested this, but you should be able to do this by setting up a filter.
First, verify each address you wish to forward to in the settings via Forwarding and POP/IMAP > Add a forwarding address.
Then, as per Google's instructions, you should be able to create a filter based on the search
to:(example@mydomain.com)
Then select the option to ...

One more way to do this in Google Apps is to use a "group". A group is like a mailing list.
Here are the steps you can follow:
"Manage This Domain" (for domain1.com)
"Email Settings"
"Users and Groups"
"Create a New Group". Fill-in your details. In your case, the group email address will be "guy". Make sure you choose "Team" and "Also allow anyone on the ...

One way you might get it to work is by creating a catch-all email account on Google Apps (domain1.com) and have all of its email forward to a single account on domain2.com. Hopefully domain2.com has something similar to SmarterMail's easy solution for creating aliases.
If you are going to use Google Apps to forward your emails, there is a limit of 20 ...

I'm not aware of such a feature.
However, the current quota and usage is exposed via IMAP and used by some IMAP clients (eg Thunderbird) when you ask it for current quota information. I would have expected this information to be exposed via the Outlook Connector also. Does Outlook have a function somewhere to show the current usage info?
You could also ...

I also face the same problem, I manage a domain 'fptb.edu.ng' and wanted 'students.fptb.edu.ng' to be supported by the same Google Apps account.
I simply added the subdomain 'students.fptb.edu.ng' as a new domain (not domain alias as some people advice), I did all the verification as required by Google Apps (I used File Upload verification method).

You can use ZoneEdit. You get 5 free Zones.
When you sign up and add a domain you will be given 2 nameservers.
Replicate your host's existing DNS entries in ZoneEdit.
Add/Update the MX records etc to Google Apps.
Point your domain at the ZoneEdit nameservers.
Wait up to 72 hours for the changes to propogate around DNS.
My host (FastHosts in the UK) ...

Apparently, you must add it as a Send As email on the account where the alias is defined. This must be done even if you are going to use a separate account to email from this address. This is exactly the same behavior as sending from a plus address.
For the authentication, you should use:
Email: Your alias (e.g. alias@example.com)
Username: Your email ...

The answer is "within 24 hours". I've seen varying times. If you wait 24 hours you should be fine. You could create a mailing list in Google Groups to work around this.
See this help document for more info: Sending Limits

I would recommend using GrexIt (http://grexit.com) shared labels for this purpose. This exactly fits yours workflow as you've described.
You share a Gmail label in your shop@example.com's account with other employees. Whenever a new email arrives in shop@example.com's account, it will automatically get shared and start showing up in other employees Gmail. ...

Not currently possible without a bit of hacking. (See Ben's answer.)
Out of the box you can have Inbox and...
Important and unread
Important
Unread
Starred
OR all of a particular label.
Can't combine Inbox and a different label the way you're looking to do.

No you can't do that and you will have to upgrade to the Google Apps for Business in order to get more space.
From the FAQ for Google Apps:
Can I have a subset of employees on Google Apps for Business and others on Google Apps?
Google Apps does not support Google Apps and Google Apps for Business user accounts as part of the same organization's ...

Google Apps (Free) can have up to a maximum of 10 users (source), so if you already have 10 users on it, you can't migrate more users to it. You can, however, upgrade it to Google Apps for Business, where you can have an unlimited number of users (but it's not free), and migrate all your users from the other account to it.
PS: Are you sure the 50 users ...
