  WordPress.com does not provide an email service for domains. See here for adding email service > http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/add-email/

  Thank you so much for your support. I have chosen Zoho but now they are asking for stuff I have no idea about in order to validate my domain, things like cname and DNS. I am totally clueless are you able to give me further support?

  There is no primary domain set for pegspuds.wordpress.com. This means that although pegspuds.com will forward to the site, pegspuds.com will appear in the browser address bar. To learn more about setting a primary domain, please see our documentation.

  I am really struggling with this technology. This is the second account I have with WordPress and the first one I purchased the domain name through Godaddy so had no trouble mapping the domain and email to WordPress, however for this account I bought the domain through WordPress and now seem to hit a brick wall in managing the email address. I have just tried to cancel the domain within the 48 hours of purchase, but it says I could lose the domain all together. What can I do to get this sorted and still keep my domain name pegspuds.com?
