  Hi there,

  I switched my DNS servers to WordPress so I could use my own domain name here, but it seems to have impacted my webmail address. I contacted the people I get my webmail from, and they sent me the following:

  – – –

  Upon checking it here the MX records or the mail servers are not pointing to 1&1. For the e-mail address (email visible only to moderators and staff) to work properly, we advise you to contact your website hosting provider and ask them to point the mail servers back to the MX records below:

  mx00.1and1.co.uk
  mx01.1and1.co.uk

  – – –

  Please will you do this, so my email address will start working, or advise me on what else I can do to use my own domain and still ensure that my email address is functional?

  Many thanks,

  Rob

  Hi Rob, I’ve added your MX records in the required format under Store > Domains, Edit DNS:

  https://wolfandeagleyoga.wordpress.com/wp-admin/paid-upgrades.php?page=domains&action=dnsedit&domain=wolfandeagleyoga.com

  MX 10 mx00.1and1.co.uk.
  MX 20 mx01.1and1.co.uk.

  Your email should start flowing soon. Please let me know if you still have any trouble with it.
