  I just set up 3 free email accounts through the Google apps. I can sign into all three. I sent test emails successfully through all 3. But not one of them is receiving emails.

  I have no filters on. I disabled the POP. I have nothing in spam.

  I skipped the part of the setup regarding MX records and I can’t find my way back to it. Would this have anything to do with it?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi. It is my understanding that MX records are an essential part of a proper Google Apps set up. I suggest you take a look at this carefully:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/google-apps-email/
  There is also a “Troubleshooting” section there with links to the support documents available at Google.

  You will also need CNAME records.

  I actually got mine working this morning – very proud of myself I was!

  I should clarify – you need CNAME if you want to get rid of the all the g00gly stuff in the mail URL :)) Which I wanted and assume you do too!
