Lets get started! You must have an active account, meaning a registered domain .

Go to your domain. Click the "DNS Settings"

 

Before adding any records, delete all mail records first. See the image below.


 

After deleting click the "Update" button. See the image below.



Click "Add record"


 

From the below image yoou need to put all the MX records orderly on your Plesk DNS settings.
First add all the MX records one-by-one see image below:

Leave "Enter Mail Domain" empty
" Enter Mail Exchanger" for the following Mail Exchangers

Put all the records and follow the MX Priority accordingly.


ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM
