  I transferred my site over to a self-hosted wordpress.org site. I had an email address through wordpress.com, now I’m wondering since I transferred over, is it still valid? How can I keep my email address?

  Thanks,
  Lillian

  Hi there. Did you use WordPress.com email forwarding, or did you have a third-party email account (like Google Apps, Microsoft email, etc.) connected to your domain?

  If you had regular email forwarding, that’s a feature of WordPress.com, so you won’t be able to use it on a self-hosted site.

  If you have a third-party email account you should be able to reconnect it to your self-hosted site, but you’ll need to post in the WordPress.org forum for help with that: http://wordpress.org/support/
