I just set up my domain with Google Apps. During the Gmail setup process the tutorial said we could also set up mail.mydomain.com and we'd look at it later. But it never came up.

Now, I can't seem to find how to do it anywhere. Maybe I just don't know how exactly to search for it.

Help ?

This has changed.

As of sep-2014:
The CNAME target should be: ghs.googlehosted.com
And you enable the URLs from dashboard -> Company Profile > Custom URLs

You need to setup a CNAME record pointing to ghs.google.com and enable the url in your apps control panel.

This works for all services e.g. mail. sites. docs. etc

  • @SaadFarooq it does feel that way some days! I think most of our users are US based. No worries.

  • @MartinDuys it's in settings > email (or docs or whatever) > change url
