  Hi ofah2019,

  Providing the MX records (these direct your emails to the right place) remain in place, custom email addresses connected to that domain should continue working after the transfer:

  I noticed you have purchased domain mapping, which is bit different from transferring a domain because the domain remains registered with your current provider and is pointed to WordPress.com. These steps will guide you through the process of setting that up if you want to continue with that option instead:
