Thank you so much for this tutorial! First of all, it was easy to listen to you bc your voice has a nice calming quality. Secondly, you must know I'm a NOT an internet guru. In fact I'm an idiot!!! But 2 hours later, I have listened to your tutorial and figured it out (even with a different domain provider who did not use nor call MX the same thing that you did so I had to listen to other tutorials to understand that MX means Mail Settings! I've really been educated! Thank you again! Now I'm going to attempt to add a 2nd business email address. Haha! Let's see how much I truly comprehended!

I just did this, but wished I'd watched this first! My morning would have gone a lot easier.

I've been using this feature with two of my domains for a few weeks now and it works great.
Kinda worried that it'll reset itself after it's out of beta, but it'll be pretty easy to setup again I think.

I never thought I'd be seriously considering dropping googles ecosystem and moving to apple. Good job legacy migration/shutdown team!

Great video tutorial! I tried setting up my email several times, but kept receiving an error when confirming my email address. I skipped that step, and followed your instructions and it worked perfectly. Thanks!

More of less how I expected it to work, but I appreciate being able to see the process before I start it.
