Is there any way to use your @me.com address with the gmail interface? I mean, I have my paid yearly subscription but due to some issues I experienced a few weeks ago went for a gmail address again and the interface is just so much better.
You need to change MX records for the domain to use google apps.
Probably better to get you own domain name and use that instead of @me.com ... might be a bit of pain changing over but then you are free to use the provider of your choice.
