  Hi, Saskia.

  Since the forum redacted your email address, I can’t tell if this is a domain name you purchased here from WordPress.com or one hosted elsewhere.

  If your domain is set up on WordPress.com, here are instructions on adding email hosting.

  Add Email to Your Domain

  Or, you can use email forwarding if you’d prefer.

  I hope this helps.

  Hi noebiewan, hi support team,

  I´ve just installed my new E-Mail adress and I am following all the steps but now I don´t know what to do here:

  17.) Once again click the blue Add New DNS button but this time choose MX from the dropdown menu. Enter your domain name in the first box, the record value (eg ALT1.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM) in the second and lastly, the priority number to match that provide in the priority field. Click the Add New DNS button to save each record (See the following example for the first record.) :
  mx_records

  Whats the “record value”? Where do I find that or how to define?

  Thank you for your help once more.
  Best regards,
  Saskia

  Hi, Saskia.

  Are you using Google Apps for the account?

  If so, the record values are listed below the example on the instructions page in part 17 that you referred to. For instance:

  Host: Enter your domain name (ex: yourgroovydomain.com)
  Handled by: ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM
  Priority: 1

  You’d add five records, one for each set of values listed.

  Let me know if this still doesn’t make sense, or if you’re using something other than Google Apps.
