    Ho must I create an email adress for forwarding purposes on the costom domain?
    After I created the custom domain it gives the domain at the forwarding options, but it does not say how to create the email where the forwarding must be to?

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

    Hi there. You insert your existing email there. The email forwarding does not actually create a new email address, but only a virtual one. Blog visitors will email to, for example, info at yourdomain.com, but then WordPress forwards it to your actual email address. http://en.support.wordpress.com/email-forwarding/

    If you want to create an actual email address you can do so as well, but you’ll have to connect to an outside service provider to do that: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/add-email/

    To be clear, this only applies if you have a WordPress.com website. Your domain’s nameservers show it has been suspended so I can’t see if you’re on WordPress.com or self-hosted, but I give this information in case you’re talking about a different site.
