  I need to enable my wordpress to link to my personal domain email. I have the routing code from my domain provider. Will someone please contact me immediately to set this up or let me know if there is any way I can do it manually. I need to get my email live ASAP.

  Thanks!

  Have you done this set up or not? Domain Mapping » Setting Up Email with Google Apps > http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/google-apps-email/

  Thanks for your reply. I have not but I don’t want it to go through a Gmail account, I would like to link it directly to my Outlook. Is that possible?

  You can actually setup Outlook to retrieve your mail from Gmail. The instructions will be on Google’s site after you’ve finished the setup process that timethief linked to.

  Thanks MacManx! But is there a way to do it without going through Gmail? Directly through WordPress? My domain people said that WordPress just has to enable it with the correct data points.

  No, we don’t offer email service ourselves.

  You can ask your registrar to provide you with MX records that can enter via the Edit DNS section of Upgrades -> Domains in your blog’s Dashboard, but the only email solution that we can provide support for is via Google Apps for Domains: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/google-apps-email/
