Google apps for your domain imap
Are you trying to configure IMAP for a Google Apps email address?
Well to configure IMAP1 (Internet message access protocol) access for your Google Apps email address, it is almost like you would go about when setting it up in Gmail. Except that the difference is, when they ask you for a username during the process of your configuration, you must insert your full email address, and dont forget that this is including your domain2 (your_username@and_your_domain.com). Everything else is pretty much the same.
