I haven't used my business Gmail/G Suite in few years and wanted to restore it today. I restored it as a Google Workspace account with my same account, paying for the basic plan, but now my email doesn't work. I can send emails but not receive them. From my little research, I think it has something to do with the MX records. Can someone help me?
Here is the error message (which I tested from another email account:
The response was:
DNS Error: DNS type 'mx' lookup of <URL Removed by Staff> responded with code NOERROR DNS type 'mx' lookup of <URL Removed by Staff> had no relevant answers. DNS type 'aaaa' lookup of <URL Removed by Staff> responded with code NOERROR DNS type 'aaaa' lookup of <URL Removed by Staff> had no relevant answers. DNS type 'a' lookup of <URL Removed by Staff> responded with code NOERROR DNS type 'a' lookup of <URL Removed by Staff> had no relevant answers.
I use the Google Workspace Email Activation steps and it said to add: SMTP.GOOGLE.COM as an MX record. I went through Cloudflare to try to reset my MX records (not sure if that was right to do), but when I went to <URL Removed by Staff> to see if it worked, it shows that it's still not set up properly.
Lastly, I also asked Gemini AI and it recommended a bunch of MX records which I also tried and didn't work (but I am also confused as to how I can know it is set up correctly without waiting 72 hours). I hope someone can help me.
Thank you for your guidance in advance!
