  Hi there, Your custom domain email forwarding will continue to work while your domain is registered here, and your name servers are pointed to WordPress.com. This is the way you’re currently setup, therefore your email forwarding should work. If you are having any problems with this, or have other questions, please let me know! Thanks :)

  Hi again,

  My email forwarding still does not work even though it is set up the way you said.

  Is there anything I need to do on Godaddy’s end?

  Any other ideas?

  Hello again,

  It appears as if you have an extraneous DNS record in your domain setup here at WordPress.com. It may be interfering with your email forwarding. I’ve deleted it, and saved those changes. Could you please test your email?

  Let me know how it works for you, and if I can help further. Thanks so much!

  I added the cname you deleted in an effort to correct the problem. To clarify, the problem I am having is that messages sent to the domain emails I set up are not being forwarded as configured.
