  Hi there!

  We do not provide email hosting on WordPress.com, but you can setup email forwarding.

  Email hosting gives you a separate account to log into. While email forwarding will take any emails sent to your address ((email visible only to moderators and staff)) and send them to an already existing email address, like a gmail account. (Your users won’t see the gmail account.)

  Here are directions for setting up email forwarding:

  We have more information on email hosting here:

  Let me know how I can help!

  Hi Shawna,

  I got this sorted thanks. The email was operated by my host and I just needed help correctly pointing the mx report to them. Once sorted everything works just fine.

  Thank you.
