(click the link next to the arrow marked ‘Third – Fifth’)

The first MX record you will need to add is:

ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM

Leave the Name field blank, the TTL field at the default value, and make the priority 10 (refer to the screenshot if you are confused)

The second MX record you will need to add is:

ALT1.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM

Leave the Name field blank, the TTL field at the default value, and make the priority 15

The third MX record you will need to add is:

ALT2.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM

Leave the Name field blank, the TTL field at the default value, and make the priority 20

You are now done with the MX record configuration, check the screenshot at the bottom of this page to make sure that yours matches exactly.

You’re done! Wait for the DNS propagation to take effect
(this sometimes takes up to a day, but is usually finished within 4 – 6 hours), then you will be able to access your mail at
http://mail.your-domain-here.com with ‘your-domain-here’ replaced with your actual domain.
