Does WordPress.com offer email hosting
-
GoDaddy suddenly after 10 years is no longer allowing me to send out my fan based emails. I am trying to find an email hosting service that allows me to keep sending them out. We have nearly 2000 subscribers and I also send out press releases to editors that are appropriate for the product or client choosing from our proprietary email lists Does WordPress.com or WordPress.org have a solution?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there,
We don’t offer email hosting, but if you have a domain registered or mapped to us, you can connect any third-party email account to the domain. I see your site is self-hosted, though, so that is not an option in this case.
WordPress.org is not a hosting provider at all, email or otherwise. WordPress.org is just the site where the WordPress software lives and where you’ll find the community that contributes to it.
Why don’t you look at another email hosting provider, like G Suite from Google or Office 365 email? After setting up your account with that provider you’ll just need to switch out GoDaddy’s MX records for the new provider’s in your domain’s DNS.
If your primary goal is to send out newsletters, a dedicated service provider like MailChimp might be an even better option, especially as they have a pop-up form that you can add directly to your self-hosted site via a plugin.

Thank you for your detailed response. I was able to solve my email issues by switching to a provider that suits my needs.
