  Hello
  I’m in the early stages of setting up garydunne.wordpress.com.

  My domain, garydunne.com and email a/c (email visible only to moderators and staff) are currently with easily.co.uk. I would like to use garydunne.com for the new wordpress blog.

  Having read a lot of the relevant threads on the forums, I contacted easily (the domain reg company), to change the name server info. They told me that this would deactivate my email a/c, as it only works when the domain is on their servers.

  Is there a way of setting this up so I can continue using the email addy?

  Use Google Apps.
  http://google.com/a

  The faq on domain mapping has some information and when you map the domain the box for the google code will appear.

  When changing email servers there is always a small chance of missing an email but it is small.

  Alternately, create http://blog.garydunne.com and map to that?

  Cheers Mark. I’ll look into that.
