How do I get my email forwarding to work on my newly mapped domain name?

    Before (successfully) mapping my domain name onto wp yesterday, I had two functioning email forwarding accounts with my registrar (easily). These were [email redacted] and [email redacted]. I understand that I now have to enter new Custom DNS records at wp for the email forwarding to continue to work. Before mapping yesterday I got the following info. from my registrar: one A record (a string of numbers with dots) and two MX records (strings of letters and numbers and dots). I tried inputting these into the Custom DNS Records form at wp, but when I clicked ‘validate without saving’ I got an error message saying the MX and A records weren’t in the right format. Please help! I’d very very much like to get my email forwarding working again!

    You can setup email through your new mapped domain following this guide: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/add-email/

    Make sure that you’re entering the records following the style guide below the custom DNS editor.
