    Sorry if this is the wrong section but nothing else seemed right.

    Can someone please tell me how to set up my yahoo domain to send my emails to my gmail account. Here are the default MX records-

    Mail Server Host Name: Priority:
    Yahoo! Mail Server 20
    Yahoo! Mail Server 30

    From what I understand this is all you need-

    But I'm still waiting.

    How long have you been waiting? It could take up to 24 hours for it to take effect.

    It hasn't been 24 hours yet but I'm hoping it works.

    Ah, here's the correct set up instructions for yahoo.

    1.

    Log in to your account at smallbusiness.yahoo.com.
    2.

    Click Domain Control Panel below the domain you'd like to use with Google Apps.
    3.

    Click Manage Advanced DNS Settings.
    4.

    Click Change MX Records.
    5.

    Clear all existing MX records.
    6.

    Enter information according to the table below:

    Note: Make sure each entry is entered exactly as it appears in the following table. Be sure to include the trailing dot at the end of each record.
    MailServer Hostname: Priority
    ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM. 10
    ALT1.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM. 20
    ALT2.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM. 30
    ASPMX2.GOOGLEMAIL.COM. 40
    ASPMX3.GOOGLEMAIL.COM. 50
    ASPMX4.GOOGLEMAIL.COM. 60
    ASPMX5.GOOGLEMAIL.COM. 70

    7.

    Click Submit.

    Well looks like it didn't work. When I update the yahoo MX records it will always take off the trailing dot.
