That is the question????
when I first started playing around with my blog engine and really started using my kemponline.co.uk domain I looked at Google Apps. One of the reasons I looked at it was the fact that you get 6GB allocated to you for email. In order to take advantage of the email you will need to register your domain name with Google Apps and then add the email services to your list of used Services. Then once you have done that and the Google servers have updated you will need to re-point your MX records to Google. This is where I went wrong last year!
Once the Google Apps service has updated you will be given the details that you need to pint your MX Records to. My mistake last year was I was modifying my MX Records on www.123-reg.co.uk as that is who my domain was registered with. However my Domain is Hosted on helm. I did have a look on helm but I could not see anything in my control panel for DNS management, but it is there now.
So basically my kemponline email wasn't working for 2 days last year. note really an issue but still none the less was with out email. I eventually got it up and running and had my kemponline email running from Google Mail.
So I have decided to take the plunge again. I am going to see if I can get my email running from Google Mail again. Partly because the 6GB of space allocated is handy, but also so I Can sync my iPod touch with my email when connected to a wireless network. I tried setting up to connect with my default smtp and pop3 settings but it didn't like it. as there was an option on the iPod for gmail I thoguht I would jsut try it.
So here goes set up my user account on Google Apps all I need to do now is change my MX Records.....
