Hi! I have a huge problem!!! After mapping my citynetwork.se domain, peak-oil.se to wordpress my inmail, ability to receive emails on my (email visible only to moderators and staff) has stopped working!! I can send emails but no longer receive them. After being in contact with citynetwork.se on the matter they told my I need to change my DNS records using information wordpress provide me with such as CNAME, A info etc, to edit the DNS at wordpress and point back to citynetwork??
This is now a very big problem not only for me but several others at our peak oil domain, not receiving emails.
Please help on this, otherwise I will have to close my peak-oil.se blog and loose 4 days of hard blogwork!Please response to my hotmail address: (email visible only to moderators and staff) (or here in the forum)

Hi. WordPress.com does not provide an email service, so it’s CityNetwork that should give you the MX, CNAME, A records. Not the other way around. It’s the company that hosts your email that should give you this information.
And this is where you would enter that information:

well I wish it was that easy, Citynetwork say since I mapped the domain to wordpress I have to point back to wordpress by using dns that wordrpress provides, I know that this sounds werid but I have tried to as you say, use the MX CNAME and A records that I have with citynetwork-still the same thing, maybe just maybe I fill it in the wrong way. 1, For example, lets say I edit the DNS records using citynetwork info, do I have to fill in MX, CNAME and A records all together (I have tried this, still the same problem), or is it enough with only A records?
2, how long does it take until it starts working??, maybe I have changed the DNS records too fast, waited almost 24 hours each time though…
3, if I fill in A records only, should it be like this?:
A mail ipnr
I just want my email at citynetowork to work like before…! -
1. It depends. Some providers give you only an MX record, some give you an MX and a TXT record, etc.
2. It can be as short as an hour… as long as the records are fine.
3. Yes, if “ipnr” means an IP number, such as 1.2.3.4If I was you, I would show CityNetwork the link I gave you before.
And if I still felt that they had no idea what I am talking about, I would switch providers (seriously). You can get free email addresses quickly and easily with Google Apps:
