  Hi James – Sure thing, I’m happy to help. Do you already have email hosted on your domain, and if so, who is your email hosted with?

  Or will you be setting up email on your domain for the first time?

  Hi, I emailed you a full answer on facebook cause this was down. The short answer is yes. I have a Gmail account, and now an Outlook one because the forum told me to set that up. But I’m totally confused now. I want to send and receive messages without the @gmail and whatnot. I have no idea how. The edit DNS is confusing with all the MX 0 mail.domain.com. I don’t get it. Please help.

  Hi James –

  In that case, the simplest thing to do is to set up email forwarding. To do that, go here and click “Manage Email” next to your domain:
  https://raisethebarrdj.wordpress.com/wp-admin/paid-upgrades.php?page=domains

  Then, follow these instructions to set up the email forwarding:

  If you get stuck at any point, let me know which step and what happens when you try to follow it, and I’ll help you out.
