Before you start

Your web address must be connected first. The email settings appear only once the address is verified. How do I connect my domain?

Open My sites, your site, then the connected address.
Find For email (optional, recommended).
Copy each row (Type, Name, Value) into your domain account, as you did for the site settings. What are DNS records?
Tap Check now. Each row shows a tick once it is correct.
In your admin, open the sending settings to see the status. Sending domain

These records never block your site. The rows are marked optional.
Added too, your site's emails come from your own address and land in inboxes, not spam.
One of the rows is an MX record. It only collects bounced emails. It does not change where your own mail is delivered.
You can send the steps to someone who manages your domain. Send these steps to someone is on the address page.
You can connect your own email service in your admin instead. Sending email

I don't see the email rows. Your address is not verified yet. Finish connecting it first.
A row has no tick. Compare the Type, Name and Value with your domain account. My domain does not work

Will my normal email stop working?

The MX record here is only for bounced emails, as the screen says.
