  Hello there!

  Thanks for getting in touch. While we register new domains here at WordPress.com, we’re not able to accept incoming transfers of existing domain names. Therefore, we recommend that you keep the name registered at your current registrar. As you know, you can use the domain for your site here at WordPress.com by mapping the domain, as explained here:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

  Or, of course, you can move your domain to another host, and we can still map your domain to your WordPress.com site.

  If you have any other questions, please let us know.

  Thanks! I renewed it & mapped it. Now I’m having trouble finding the email settings… My original email server was mail.adaptivecommunicationdevices.com… I was able to receive an email by creating “mail forwarding” under the WordPress domain settings. But I can’t figure out how to send…

  Hi Heather!

  It looks as if you’ve got your forwarding email being sent to a gmail account. You can set up your custom email address at gmail so you can send outgoing mail from that special addresses.

  Gmail has instructions on how to do that here:

  If I can help further with the setup or testing, please let me know. Thanks!
