  I would like to map my existing domain over to a WordPress.com site. However, we are using 3 email addresses with that domain that we would like to keep active. Any suggestions on the best way (and least expensive) to accomplish this?
  Thanks,
  Tom

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

  Yep, see here:

  Step 3: There is one other thing to consider at this part of the process: Do you have pre-existing email on your domain – for example, “(email visible only to moderators and staff)”? If so, when you change the name servers, that email will stop working. Click the Edit DNS link near the mapped domain and enter the Custom DNS records needed to keep your email functioning.
