Setting up Google mail¶

1. Go to Google Workspace and start to creating new account.
2. You’ll need to answer some simple questions about your business, domain, users and new email. Once you complete registration, sign in under the new user and choose a plan.

3. Verify domain ownership to connect the email for the domain.
   If you can not do it with simple verification methods, follow next steps.

   • On your registrar's website, go to the section for managing the DNS zone and find your domain in the list
   • Go to the section for managing DNS records and create a new TXT record
   • If the name of the subdomain or host is required, enter the @ symbol
   • In the main field, enter the record value: google-site-verification=provided value
   • In the TTL field, leave the default value of Automatic TTL.

Wait until the DNS records of your domain are updated. This may take up to 72 hours. Then verify your domain. 4. Add new user. 5. Add MX records to route your mail to google.

• Delete old MX records if you have any
• Create new MX records with folowing values and wait until the MX records of your domain are updated. This may take up to 72 hours.
