    What I did was go to gmail setup and then find the place to put your 
own url and did so. It said it sent a verify message to karl at k5di.com 
but it cannot work since k5di.com does not exist now. It did accept 
k5di at zianet.com and now waiting to see if it works. I will go to godaddy 
and re-register k5di.com again if it works.
