    Not a generic gmail account, a domained account. It uses gmail as the host, but uses a private domain john.doe@xyzcompany.com, like any other business email.

    Hello,

    Angie stated, "I may be a snob about this, but I don't think using a gmail address for business is very professional..." ... and I do agree with you on this one.

    And Philip stated, "...a domained account. It uses gmail as the host, but uses a private domain...like any other business email..." - I am not sure what many seem to be confused on this point...after all Google is a hosting provider...as is GoDaddy, Hostpapa, and many others.

    Angie,

    I totally agree. My ISP (iPage) is getting worse by the day. I'm making the switch very soon.
    Thank you.

    Dell, I think what we're getting at here is avoiding "xyz@gmail" for company emails.
