To set up email with Google Apps

Using Google Apps Mail:

Before changing your MX records, create a Google Apps user account. Once this is done, you will be required to change your domain's MX records with the following:

1 ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM
5 ALT1.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM
5 ALT2.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM
10 ASPMX2.GOOGLEMAIL.COM
10 ASPMX3.GOOGLEMAIL.COM

Here is a step-by-step guide how to do this:

1. Replace mx1.supremebox.com with ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM as instructed above and do not forget to update the priority value from "10" to "1"; The TTL should be set to 3600, then click “Change”.
2. Replace mx2.supremebox.com with ALT1.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM and set the priority to "5", then click “Change”.
3. To add another MX record for your domain, use the tool at the top of the page - choose the domain from the drop-down menu, select MX from the "Type" drop-down, then enter ALT2.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM in the "Value" field, choose the "Priority" as listed above, leave the TTL value to the default (3600) and finally click "Add New".
4. Repeat the procedure described in (3) when adding all the five MX records and you will be all set.

To use the Google Apps custom URL mail.my-best-domain.com to access your emails, here is what needs to be done:

1. Create your subdomain mail.my-best-domain.com from the Subdomain Manager section (Site Management > Subdomain Manager) of your hosting Control Panel.
2. Go to the Custom DNS Records section and create a CNAME record using the tool at the top: Fill in "mail" in the first field, then select "my-best-domain.com" from the domain drop-down.
3. For "Type" choose CNAME, for "Value" enter: ghs.google.com
4. Click "Add New" and the CNAME will be created.

Keep in mind that changes may take up to 24 hours to propagate throughout the Internet.
