  ¡Hey! I just mapped custom domains (lydialavin.com , lydialavin.com.mx) to my blog: lydialavin.wordpress.com. They work fine now. However, the mails I used ((email visible only to moderators and staff) -and others-) stopped working.

  I’ve checked the instructions you show here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/custom-dns/ But I don’t understand a bit!!!

  I have been using cpanel to manage my mail settings and domain zones and stuff.
  What can I do so that my mail works? Do I have to change things in my wordpress administration or directly in cpanel?

  ¡Thanks!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,

  On WordPress.com we do not provide email hosting, but you can connect email hosting from another provider to your custom domain. Here are instructions for using email with your custom domain:

  Add Email

  Please note that you’ll need to have email hosting with an email provider already set up in order to do this. You can get the custom DNS records you need from that email provider — then, if you’d like, I can help you enter them on this end.

  If you don’t want to deal with that, you can set up email forwarding instead by using this guide:

  Email Forwarding

  Please let me know if you’d like additional help with that!
