Google Apps with my domain
Hi
I have just setup gmail (google apps) for my own domain name. Everything is fine now. If I send email to me@mydomain.com it is received at gmail and if I send an email from gmail it is received to the other end with sender address me@mydomain.com.
Now I want to access the mail by typing mail.mydomain.com. For this I went to my domain admin control pannel and tried to add an A record in the following way:
Host: mail
Type: A
Data: google.com
Priority: 0
TTL: 3600
But when I press save button it says:
Append new resource record failure
INVALID_RR
Please help me how to do this? Also please guide me how to setup my mails to work with Thunderbird/Outlook (send and receive both)
Thanks.

When I do nslookup get the following:
Non-authoritative answer:
gmail.mydomain.com canonical name = ghs.google.com.mydomain.co
Name: ghs.google.com.mydomain.co
Address: Hosting Provider's IP and NOT google's IP
Non-authoritative answer:
gmail.mydomain.com canonical name = ghs.google.com.mydomain.co

This would be a LOT easier with your actual domain name, understandably you probably don't want to provide that.
Could you please run the DNS Lookup tool on your domain found here
http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/
and set the record type from A to ALL?
then paste the results in here - feel free to X out some information.

But the tool you have recommended is not free. Even trial version needs credit card.
Is there any other way/commands to find out what you want to know?

I made changes in Google Apps and also made the required change in domain control panel. Attached is the screenshot of the changes made in domain.
But when I write http://gmail.mydomain.com it does not work.
If I ping gmail.mydomain.com it does not returns Google's IP but returns the IP of my hosting provider.
