Try any alternate methods with which you are comfortable.
Changing MX Records:
Keep working through the steps of the wizard until you encounter a step that asks you to change your MX records. These are the mail server addresses that your domain uses to process email. Google will need you to use their mail servers for your Gmail account to function. Let's take another detour to set up.
Thus, you will need to point your mail exchange servers to the mail exchange servers of google.
You can do these by editing the MX records from your Domain settings.
Note: If you use a Web host other than your Domain name providers, you will need to change MX record from your web hosting account as the name servers are different.
Now you can click the Dashboard button at the top of the window to access your Google Apps, including your email account settings. Once your MX records are changed, you'll be able to use your Gmail account through your own domain! You can find the link to your account by clicking the Email icon on this page and clicking the link shown next to Web address.
Enjoy!!
