Google Apps Mail Not Receiving

Posted on February 17, 2014

I moved my domain from MediaTemple and for some reason my Google account (myname@mydomainname.com) will send emails, but can’t receive them. I changed my domain in NameCheap to point to my droplet IP, and then copied over all of the MX/CNAME records that were in MediaTemple. My DNS looks like this:

Both POP and IMAP are enabled in my Google account…can anybody help troubleshoot why I’m not able to receive email? Thank you!

In fact you are using DO’s DNS service, you should change your domain name server to the following: <br>ns1.digitalocean.com <br>ns2.digitalocean.com <br>ns3.digitalocean.com <br>Your droplet won’t handle domain name resolve, unless you setup your own domain name server.
