How do I transfer email from a domain registrar?
Hello,
I just decide to host my domain on here. I changed the nameservers at my registrer (namecheap). I had registered two email there, that are up and running. Tranferring the nameserver will clearly affect them so what do I have to do to keep them running on here.
This is what their support centre told me
"The domain name is using third party DNS, you will need to contact your DNS provider and have the following records setup in the domain name zone file for OX to work properly...and it gave me a string of commands.
I don't know how to use them
thanks
M.

- The first thing you will want to do is make sure that the email addresses you had setup on your previous host are setup at InMotion Hosting. For more help with creating these email addresses, please see: Creating an email address
- After you have created an email address, the next thing you'll want to do is update your email clients (programs used to read / send email) with your new email settings.
Incoming and Outgoing server names mail.yourdomain.com (replace yourdomain.com with your actual domain) Username [email protected] (this should be your full email address, all lower case Password The email password you setup in step 1. Forgot your password?
I checked your DNS (specifically your nameservers), and it appears you have successfully updated your nameservers to ours. This change can take up to 24 hours to FULLY take effect. After your nameserver change has fully gone through and you've followed the steps above, your email should be good to go! You will need to contact your DNS provider and have the following records setup in the domain name zone file for OX to work properly Not all email is setup the same for each domain, so I can't respond to this comment without knowing the specific details your previous host gave you.
