I think the way to install the correct application is explained on this google site:

Although I agree that it’s a pain in the butt that you can’t use the normal application used for gmail.

When u set up your email account on the BIS website, did you need to put in all the other details, or did the server automatically figure them out?

my understanding is that rim has actually updated their systems to automatically detect if the domain is enabled with google apps.

I had the same problem as this. I tried the recent: method, which did not work for me.

The solution for me was to go to O2’s email site, delete mu account for my old pop server and then add the account again. Hey Presto it worked fine and took seconds.

i managed to set up my google apps email account. you have to specify the email address as abc@yourdomain.com, but when asked for username, prefix it with “recent:” so, in this case it would be recent:abc@yourdomain.com. push email works.

Thank you, SC, but with that client you lose the real-time push capability that you want to use with your BlackBerry.

You can download an updated client for your Google Apps domain at http://m.google.com/a - This program will let you access your Google Apps domain email on your BlackBerry
