You’ll need to enable it first. You should first log into your domain’s Gmail, and the go to Settings on the top right corner. Select Forwarding and POP/IMAP and Enable POP. In your email client, your outgoing mail should use pop.gmail.com and incoming mail as smtp.gmail.com. Your login should be yourid@yourdomain.com and password is the same one you use when you log into the web based mail. Most importantly, turn on / enable secure connection (SSL) for both incoming and outgoing mails.

The above steps are from Google’s Help Center and I followed them exactly to make them work.

Google’s MX mapping is an e-mail hosting service, whereas Microsoft Outlook and Mozilla Thunderbird are just e-mail software that allow you to download e-mails from your e-mail hosting service provider.

I assume you own the domain Miltski.com? Well, setting an MX record is similar to setting a DNS server so that your domain name points to the correct web hosting service. You just need to redirect all your domain’s e-mail service (MX records) from your current e-mail hosting service, to Google’s e-mail hosting service.

You can ask your hosting provider customer support to help you to go about setting this up if you’re not sure.

Please help me understand, is Google’s MX is similar to Microsoft’s Outlook and Mozilla’s Thunderbird ?
In that you can review all your email accounts Yahoo,Hotmail, etc, in one place ?

Oh, definitely; it has all the capabilities you’d normally get in you Gmail, and you can even tell Google to map your Calendar to a subdomain of your choice using CNAME, like http://calendar.webgrrrl.net/ (<– not a working domain, just an example).

That’s a pretty good find, Would this also allow you to use your domain email with other Google services, like calendar? Because one reason I use GMail as my primary email account is that it keeps all my data in one place.
