What are Google Apps MX Records?

Can I recreate the same email addresses (e.g. [email protected]) that were used on the web server before I took it over, if I purchase Google Business Ads? If the MX records are already set up for the domain, will ordering emails from Google make them work?

  1. As an admin, you should be able to create the same old email addresses if you purchase Google Workspace (formerly Google Business Apps). However, there might be a possibility that the old owner’s email addresses are still associated with their account, even if they are not actively using them. In that case, you may need to contact Google support to release those email addresses so you can use them for your own domain.

    2. If the MX records are already set up for the domain, ordering emails from Google should be relatively straightforward. Once you have purchased Google Workspace, you will need to verify your domain ownership and set up the necessary MX records in your domain’s DNS settings. Once the DNS changes propagate, you should be able to start using the new email addresses you create through Google Workspace.

    However, it’s worth noting that DNS propagation can take some time, typically up to 48 hours. During this period, there is a chance that some emails may still be directed to the old email addresses, so it’s important to ensure that all contacts are made aware of the change and are updated with the new email addresses.

    In summary, if you purchase Google Workspace and navigate any potential issues with the old owner’s email addresses, you should be able to create new email addresses using the same format as the ones previously used on the web server. Additionally, setting up the MX records correctly should enable the newly ordered emails to work seamlessly.
  1. If you purchase Google Workspace (formerly Google G Suite) to create your own email addresses, you should be able to create the same email addresses that were previously created. However, it’s important to note that if the previous owner has not paid for Google Workspace and their account has been suspended or deactivated, you may encounter some difficulties in reactivating or assigning those email addresses. In this case, you may need to contact Google support for assistance.

    2. If the MX records are already set up for the domain, ordering Google Workspace should be relatively easy. Once you purchase the Google Workspace subscription, you will need to update your MX records with the new Google MX records provided to you. This process can usually be done through your domain registrar or DNS management system. After the MX records are updated, it may take some time for the changes to propagate across the internet, but once it’s done, the emails should start working with Google Workspace.

    It’s important to note that these answers are general guidelines and may vary depending on the specific circumstances and configurations of your web server and domain. It’s always recommended to consult with a professional administrator or technician for specific advice and assistance tailored to your situation.
  1. If you purchase Google Workspace (formerly known as Google Business Apps) and want to create email addresses with the same addresses that were used by the previous owner, it depends on whether those email addresses have been completely deleted or not. If the previous owner simply stopped paying for their subscription, but the email addresses are still associated with the domain, then you should be able to create new email addresses with those same addresses. However, if the previous owner deleted the email addresses or released them from their Google Workspace account, then you will not be able to recreate them.

You will typically need to verify ownership of the domain and then follow the instructions provided by Google Workspace to set up the MX records correctly. Once the MX records are properly configured, the email service should start working for your domain.

    If you are unsure about the specific details of your situation, it may be helpful to consult with a professional system administrator or IT consultant who can guide you through the process and ensure everything is set up correctly.
