Help please? Changing webhost keeping email under old host.
Hello,
Can someone help me?
- At the moment my website is hosted under bluehost and it has the following mx records.
mx.spamexperts.com
fallbackmx.spamexperts.eu
lastmx.spamexperts.net
I'm moving to a new host BUT I want to keep the mailboxes / account under the old host which is Bluehost.
How do I configure my MX under my new host? Should I just enter the same MX records above?
What about the A record for mail? Do I need to add mail.domain.com and point it to Bluehost IP ADDRESS?
Do I also need to copy the same TXT from bluehost?
Lastly, under BLUEHOST CNAME there's Imap and POP .. Should I also copy the same settings under my new host?
Thank you in advance!

Just set the A/MX/TXT/CNAME records for mail to your old host's info, and you'll be all set.
just change the A/AAAA record for your main domain and CNAME for your subdomain like www, ftp. Other records such as MX, spf, dmarc, dkim and A record for mail, imap, pop subdomain should be the records of your old webhost if you want to keep it as your email service.
thank you guys
