This document will help you prepare your hosting so that all emails are sent and received from Google Apps. We not go into the details of how to register Google Apps.
Google reminds you to create the email users before you change the MX records, or you may have email downtime.
Google also offers you temporary email addresses, so you can use Google mail before the MX record change. The format is similar to name@yourdomain.com.test-google-a.com (The temporary email address will be deactivated once you change the MX records.)
