It’s a great idea to use gmail. I use it for all my domains. My spam has considerably decreased and I now don’t have to login to my cpanel to use the fantastic email system of squirrel mail Just a tiny hint of sarcasm there.

Cheers,
Chris

It’s been quite a while since I set my account up with Google, but from re-reading my post, it sounds like I did this by creating a new CNAME record, due to the

‘The verification may take up to 48 hours as per Google’s warning message, but is typically verified much, much quicker than that.’

bit. I wonder if this was also because the uploaded file wasn’t picked up by Google…?

This is very cool and I’m just setting it up for myself…

Is it just me, or is Google really bad at verifying domains by checking for the file on my webserver… This method never seems to work, whether in webmaster tools or now when setting up Google Apps. I can see the file when clicking on the link to “verify if you can see it”, but somehow Google is blind.

Oh well, I guess I’ll have to wait for the CNAME record to propagate.
