  I mapped my domain, http://www.alacartespirit.com, to WordPress back in August 2013. I didn’t realize that this would put my e-mail in limbo; before I mapped the domain my e-mail went through servers at godaddy.com. Today, I discovered that I need to forward mail from the WordPress site…that is done, but is there any way to retrieve e-mail messages sent to me through my blog contact form over the last few weeks? Or is that lost forever?

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

  I went to the support docs here http://support.wordpress.com. I typed in Domains Add Email and this was the result http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/add-email/

  Thanks for the link – it includes the correct DNS servers that I need to use. I’m still curious if any e-mails sent to me before I made this change have disappeared forever, or if it’s possible to recapture them somehow.

  I have no answer to that question – sorry.

  P.SD. Just in case you don’t pick up on it, WordPress.com does not have your email in storage.

  Yes, I am afraid they vanished into thin air! Again, thanks for your help.
