wizard, which displays your Initial Service Settings. We recommend that you
not make changes to this page, but instead proceed to the third step of the
wizard by clicking Continue.
Note:
If you need to make changes to the Initial Service Settings, we
recommend that you do so later from the Administration Console after you
have completed the activation process.
12. Clicking Continue opens the third step of the setup wizard, which confirms
your account information. To complete the setup wizard, simply close the
browser window once you have confirmed your account information.
Within two business days of completing the wizard, you will receive the
activation email which contains your MX records and specifies the steps for
completing activation.
Once you have finished the activation wizard, go to “Choose Your Rollout
Strategy” on page 13.
