Google Apps Email Tutorial
The first thing you need to do to start using Google Apps is sign up for i=
t. There is a "Premier" service which costs money, and a "Standard" service=
which is free. Choose whichever you like better. For purposes of this tuto=
rial, we will use the Standard edition. Sign =
up or compare editions here
If you would like the premium service and have more than 25 email accounts=
that you would like to add to Google Apps Email, please contact our helpde=
sk as we are able to offer discounted pricing and support for your accounts=
. Google Apps Sign-up
- Click the "Get Started" button.
- Select the option for "Administrator: I own or control this domain".
- Enter the domain name which you want Google to create email accounts fo=
r.
- Fill in the required fields and place a check next to "I understand tha=
t if I cannot alter DNS records for my domain, I may impact my organization=
's ability to use Google Apps".
Click the Continue button.
Google Apps Create Administrator Account
- Type a username and a password. Be sure to re-enter the password.
- Type the words you see in the Word Verification image.
- Read the Terms and Conditions for using the Google Apps service. When y=
ou are ready, click "I accept. Continue with set up".
- Registration should be complete by now and you should be logged in to y=
our Google Apps Dashboard (control panel).
Verify your account
Once you create an account for your domain name, you must verify that you =
own the domain name. Click the "Continue" button to proceed.
Now you must log in with the Google Administrator username and password yo=
u picked.
There are three ways you can verify that you own the domain:
1. OPTION 1: Create a DNS record to point to google.com.
- Get the special code from the Dashboard.
- Login to your GlowHost cPanel and click the Advanced DNS Zone Editor ic=
on.
- Under "Add a Record," fill in the following values:
- Name: yourdomainname.com
- TTL: 14400
- Type: TXT
- Address: google-site-verification=3DsOmE_RanDomHaSh
- Please note "sOmE_RanDomHaSh" is an example, use the code that google g=
ives you here instead.
- Go back to the Google Apps page and click the Verify button.
2. OPTION 2: Add a meta tag to your site's home page.
- Copy the meta tag below, and paste it into your site's home page. The m=
eta tag must be pasted between the HTML head tags
<met=
a name=3D"google-site-verification" content=3D"sOmE_RanDomHaSh" />
Please note "sOmE_RanDomHaSh" is an example, is an example, use the code th=
at google gives you here instead.
- Save the changes to your page and upload it to the server.
- Go back to the Google Apps page and click the Verify button.
- You should probably leave the meta tag in place even after verification=
succeeds. Refer to their documentation to be sure.
3. Option 3: Upload an HTML file to your website.=
p>
- Download the HTML file by clicking the link to get the HTML file.
- Upload that file to http://yourdomain.com/
- If this is your primary domain, the correct folder is public_html.
- Confirm successful upload by viewing the new .html file in your browser=
.
- Go back to the Google Apps page and click the Verify button.
- You should probably leave the HTML file in place even after verificatio=
n succeeds. Refer to their documentation to be sure.
After you click the Verify button, allow up to 48 hours for Google to veri=
fy your are the owner of the domain name. In many cases it will be much fas=
ter than that. The last time I tried it was done instantly.
While you wait, you can continue using the Google setup guide to complete =
your Google Apps. Alternatively, here is a tutorial that skips straight to =
the email setup. Start using Google Email
- At the Google Apps Dashboard, click the Email l=
ink. You can change any of these settings as you see fit.
- Click the link for Email Activation
- Read the instructions carefully. If your domain already has email addre=
sses, you should create user accounts before changing your MX records.
A. Create user accounts
- Click the "Create user accounts" link.
- Enter a first and last name for the email user. Enter the name of his e=
mail address.
- Click the "Create new user" button.
- If you need to enter more emails, click the "Create Another User" link.=
- Once finished, go back to the Dashboard tab at the top.
- To quickly get to the next step, click the Activate Email link.
B. Set up email delivery
If you skipped creating email users, then click the "Change MX records" li=
nk.
Google also offers you temporary email addresses, so you can use Google ma=
il before the MX record change.
You see "Showing instructions for" and a drop down box. Select "cPanel" as=
your hosting company. Follow the instructions.
Note: The instructions they give are for the cPanel X theme. However, almo=
st all GlowHost clients are using the GlowHost X3 theme. Here are the instr=
uctions for GlowHost X3 instead:
- Log in to your cPanel account.
- Click the MX Entry icon.
- Under"Domain" in the drop-down box, select the domain name you are chan=
ging.
- Select the "Remote Mail Exchanger" option.
- Click the Change button.
- Paste the following combination of Priorities and Destinations and add =
each one:
- Priority: 1 Destination: ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM.
- Priority: 5 Destination: ALT1.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM.
- Priority: 5 Destination: ALT2.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM.
- Priority: 10 Destination: ASPMX2.GOOGLEMAIL.COM.
- Priority: 10 Destination: ASPMX3.GOOGLEMAIL.COM.
- Finally, delete the original MX record. That is the one that has a Prio=
rity: 0 and Destination: yourdomain.com.
- Be sure to go back to the Google Apps page and click the "I have comple=
ted these steps" button.
Accessing Webmail
Go back to the Google Apps Dashboard and click the email link.
Next to Web address you see a sign-in address (URL) which=
is similar to:
The login is the email name WITHOUT @yourdomain.com and the temporary =
password given by Google. You can find the temporary password by going to t=
he "Users and Groups" tab at the top. Click the email account in question, =
and the password will be shown.
