    I have spent hours trying to figure out how to set up an email connected to my domain name. I have read the tutorials on your site and Zoho until I am blind. I am registered with Zoho and have been trying to set up an email as (email visible only to moderators and staff). This domain is hosted by you. I paid the $99 for this. It shouldn’t be this difficult! HELP. Also, how do I get my blog address to be for letamccurry.com instead of for wordpress? Thank you.

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

    Hi there!

    Here are some step-by-step directions for setting up Zoho email with your WordPress.com domain.

    http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/add-email/add-email-through-zoho-mail/

    It looks like you’ve accidentally added your CNAME records as MX records. You can go ahead and delete those two MX records and just start over. Let me know if any of those steps are confusing and I can help you out!

    Also, how do I get my blog address to be for letamccurry.com instead of for wordpress?

    It looks like this is working already. Let me know if you see something different!

    The layout of the pages do not in every case match up with the instructions. For instance:

    13) Wait about 10-15 minutes, then return to the Zoho page

    14) Next to the dropdown for Choose Your Domain Provider, select Others

    15) Scroll to the bottom of the page and click the Verify button

    I couldn’t find anything on Zoho that gave me an option of “others” under Domain Provider.

    How can I check and see if this email is functioning properly? Thank you.

    Thanks for the info! I just stepped through the Zoho document and made some updates. Zoho has you do the steps in a different order now, so the verification process happens earlier.

    You should be all set! You can test this by sending yourself an email from a different account. :)

    Let me know if I can help with anything else!

    Where do I access my email account? Sorry to be so dumb!

    You’ll access your new @letamccurry.com email account by logging into your Zoho account.

    Let me know if you have any other questions! :)
