  I’ve added my domain to WordPress.com so that my blog points to it but, since then, I’m not able to receive any email in my previous email accounts.
  My hosting provider tells me that WordPress.com is now managing my email, but I just wanted to map my web, not my email accounts.
  How can I revert those changes?

  Thanks.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi teccoin,

  Once your name servers have been changed to WordPress.com’s, you’ll need to add some MX records to your domain’s DNS settings, so that you would be able to receive mail on them.

  Here’s a support article with instructions on how to add MX records to your domain:

  Thanks, Valentine. I’ll try that.
