You can do this by updating the MX Records for your domain, which directs email traffic for your domain to Gmail servers and allows you to manage your email with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This guide will show you the steps to activate Gmail in your Google Workspace account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"#preparing\">Preparing Before Activation<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#add\">Add Gmail MX Records<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#activate\">Activate Gmail<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"preparing\">Preparing Before Activation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before activating Gmail, there are a number of details that you will need to take into consideration. The first important detail is that activating Gmail requires the creation of special records used by the <strong>Domain Name System (DNS)<\/strong> that acts as a type of phone-book for the internet. Gmail uses a special type of record called an MX record, also referred to as a mail exchange record. This DNS record is crucial for the routing of email messages as it tells the sending email server where to deliver the email message. As such, it is important to use the correct MX records to avoid interfering with normal email delivery services. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When setting up MX records for Gmail, Google will provide you with a set of records to use. These records will replace your existing MX records, which can be found either with your domain registrar or your DNS host. Unfortunately, Google is unable to perform this task for you, so you will likely need to contact your domain registrar or your web hosting provider. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another important detail to remember prior to your activation of Gmail is that all email accounts must be associated with your Google Workspace account. Additionally, ensure that you time the change-over properly, as it can take 48 hours for the changes to be reflected. In this time you may receive email messages at your previous provider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"alert alert-danger\"><strong>Important:<\/strong> Since you are sending email traffic to a new server, you should create any needed email accounts for your domain in Google Workspace before following this guide. This will help you to avoid missing emails since they will have a valid account to be delivered to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"add\">Add Gmail MX Records<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you can activate Gmail you need to add the MX Records to your DNS zone. Here are the steps to add the Google Workspace MX records using cPanel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"article_list wp-block-list\">\n<li>Login to cPanel.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click the<strong> Zone Editor<\/strong> link in the <em>Domains<\/em> section.<br><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"779\" height=\"189\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/how-to-activate-gmail-zone-editor.png\" class=\"optimized-lcp-image\" alt=\"Access Zone Editor\" loading=\"eager\" fetchpriority=\"high\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/how-to-activate-gmail-zone-editor.png 779w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/how-to-activate-gmail-zone-editor-300x73.png 300w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/how-to-activate-gmail-zone-editor-768x186.png 768w\"><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click the <strong>Manage<\/strong> button next to the domain you want to use with Gmail.<br><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"183\" class=\"wp-image-90663\" style=\"width: 750px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/how-to-activate-gmail-manage-dns.png\" alt=\"Manage DNS\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/how-to-activate-gmail-manage-dns.png 896w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/how-to-activate-gmail-manage-dns-300x73.png 300w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/how-to-activate-gmail-manage-dns-768x188.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1360px) 876px, (min-width: 960px) calc(61.58vw + 51px), calc(100vw - 80px)\" \/><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Next to Filter, click the <strong>MX<\/strong> option.<br><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"216\" class=\"wp-image-90665\" style=\"width: 750px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/how-to-activate-gmail-mx-filter.png\" alt=\"View MX Records\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/how-to-activate-gmail-mx-filter.png 549w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/how-to-activate-gmail-mx-filter-300x86.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1360px) 876px, (min-width: 960px) calc(61.58vw + 51px), calc(100vw - 80px)\" \/><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Delete any<strong> MX records<\/strong> that you see listed.<br><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"142\" class=\"wp-image-90662\" style=\"width: 750px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/how-to-activate-gmail-delete-mx-record.png\" alt=\"Delete MX Records\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/how-to-activate-gmail-delete-mx-record.png 1448w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/how-to-activate-gmail-delete-mx-record-300x57.png 300w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/how-to-activate-gmail-delete-mx-record-1024x194.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/how-to-activate-gmail-delete-mx-record-768x146.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1360px) 876px, (min-width: 960px) calc(61.58vw + 51px), calc(100vw - 80px)\" \/><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A pop-up message will ask you \u201cAre you certain that you want to delete this record\u201d.
