This then seems ot have automatically filled in the DNS text I needed.
In Google Apps, you need to go back to Setup... I can't see exactly what anymore, now that I'm sorted apparently... but I'm pretty sure Google Apps directs you through a few steps.. just follow until you get some code that you are meant to copy and paste into your host's DNS area... It gives you a list of hosts it can sort automatically, and WordPress isn't included, so just choose "Other..." and go from there...

Hope you get it sorted...

Just in case others strike the same issue... here is how I sorted it:

For no reason other than to "try SOMETHING", I returned to the "Edit DNS" section of my Domains part of my account. And lo-and-behold there was suddenly text in the box! (I'm guessing that happened after using my OLD @gmail address). The only thing wrong with it was that the google-validation-code didn't match the one for my new domain name email, so... I went back to Google Apps, copied the correct code and pasted it in. Then I deleted all the extra spaces it added (couldn't seem to select it without selecting those too) and pasted it right in there, and voila (just pretend I took the time to stick the acute in there)! It works!

If I select my @gmail.com account, I can select "Allow Access" an all works. If I select my newly created email address, it comes up saying they need to verify my account and I click a "Verify" button, and then it says it has sent an email to the newly created account (which I can't access). I suspect it is a Google-side problem, but they are just as difficult to get in touch with.

See http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/add-email/ for information (this has changed since I set up email so I have not followed these instructions myself).

Tonight I am trying to set up the email on that domain name. I followed the steps on Domains>Add Email ... I said I wanted to use Google as my email provider: check. I signed up with Google Apps: check. I was logged in with Google Apps: check. I clicked the "Start" button to create the link between Google Apps and WordPress and... fail.

Now, if I select my old @gmail.com email address, I get "Success!". But, the instructions tell me to select the email address I "created" when I signed up for Google Apps. Well, it says Google needs to verify that I own the domain, so they sent an email to that address. Problem is, I don't have access to that email, because I was creating it in Google Apps... but I can't verify my Google Apps account and around and around it goes... So what have I missed? I'm sure it's some basic step, but I just seem to have missed it...
