  I setup my domain on enom with dns servers pointing correctly to ns1,2,3.wordpress.com and paid for enom email.

  Once you do this you no longer have enom email working. I changed the WP custom DNS to the following as per Enom support:

  MX 20 mail-18.name-services.com.
  MX 10 mxin.name-services.com.
  CNAME webmail mail-18.name-services.com.

  It has been over 72 hours and it still does not work. Webmail does work but accessing pop mail from iPhone or mac mail has an error connecting to server. Any help would be appreciated as maybe enom support gave me the wrong info.

  I got it to work by changing it to the following:

  CNAME pop mail-18.name-services.com.
  MX 10 mxin.name-services.com.
  CNAME smtp mail-18.name-services.com.
  CNAME webmail mail-18.name-services.com.
