Click the delete button.



Click the "Continue" button when you see the prompt: Are you certain that you want to delete this record?


Add a new MX record(s) using the Add Record button:




Enter ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM under "Destination". Type 1 under Priority section as shown below and press the Add Record button to save changes.




Add another MX record again by repeating step 6. Enter ALT1.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM with priority 5.

Click Add Record button.

Repeat step 6 to add the rest of the Google Mail Server and their priorities below:



Destination: ALT2.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM Priority: 5

Destination: ALT3.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM Priority: 10

Destination: ALT4.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM Priority: 10

Click Add Record button to save changes.

Return to the main page of cPanel. This time go to Email section and click on Email Routing menu.




Click to choose your domain name from the dropdown box. Next, choose Remote Mail Exchanger and click Change to save changes.





That's all you need to know for setting up MX Record to G Suite! Your MX records are now configured to point to Google. Keep in mind that changes to MX records may take up to 48 hours to propagate throughout the Internet.
