1. go to the groups.google.com/group/realxtend 2. sign out (right top corner) 3. select join this group link 4. select create account 5. enter your desired email address etc info 6. now it is done! and you can sign in to web app with your own email account instead of gmail account too Jani 2008/12/10 Paul Fishwick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Well, I forward messages sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] to > [EMAIL PROTECTED] That works > just fine.
