If you're experiencing problems retrieving your email, please update your DNS zone file entries as follows:

MX Modifications:

  • MX 0 - smtp.secureserver.net.
  • MX 10 - mailstore1.secureserver.net.

CNAME modifications:

  • Map mail.XXXInsertDomainHereXXX to pop.secureserver.net
  • Map pop.XXXInsertDomainHereXXX to pop.secureserver.net
  • Map smtp.XXXInsertDomainHereXXX to smtp.secureserver.net
  • Map email.XXXInsertDomainHereXXX to email.secureserver.net
  • Map e.XXXInsertDomainHereXXX to email.secureserver.net
  • Map mobilemail.XXXInsertDomainHereXXX to mobilemail-v01.prod.mesa1.secureserver.net
  • Map pda.XXXInsertDomainHereXXX to mobilemail-v01.prod.mesa1.secureserver.net
  • Map webmail.XXXInsertDomainHereXXX to webmail.secureserver.net

After your DNS provider has entered these records, please allow 4-8 hours for .COM and .NET domains and about 24-48 hours for all other domain extensions for these changes to complete.
