  I’m unable to set up my GoDaddy email account because I’ve mapped my domain to WordPress. I need to edit the DNS records in WordPress, and I’ve gotten those from GoDaddy, but I can’t make sense of them. Can someone do it for me or walk me through it?

  Did godaddy give you MX records to use? Would look something like:

  MX smtp.secureserver.net 0

  Yes! Here’s what I see:
  ; MX Records
  @ 3600 IN MX 10 mailstore1.secureserver.net
  @ 3600 IN MX 0 smtp.secureserver.net

  Here is our support page for GoDaddy users adding email:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/add-email/add-godaddy-email/

  I would try ignoring the “@ 3600 IN” part of those records at first. I do not think they are needed.

  Let me know if you have any trouble.
