  I would like to map my current website domain to my WordPress site. I understand this involves mapping the WordPress site to my domain name and then changing the DNS servers with my service provider to point to WordPress.

  What I don’t understand is if this will stop emails working through my current service provider and if yes, how do I map my website to WordPress and keep email with my current service provider.

  Thanks
  Steven

  For your current email to work you have to follow those instructions:

  Ask from your domain registrar the MX and CNAME records.
