eMail clients do not work after changing domain provider
Hello guys!
I recently changed provider from register.it to NameSilo. NameSilo doesn't offer SRV records so they suggested me to use CloudFlare.
Setting my DNS was very easy. At the end I put the CloudFlare DNS into NameSilo DNS settings.
The webmail client works perfectly, but I can't use any client application such as Thunderbird or Gmail (on Android). Also, when someone sends me an email he gets it in his/her inbox as well.
I use mailcow to manage my server.
Does any of you have some suggestions?
Thanks!

Try to turn off cloudflare protection for the mx cname
Hello,
It seems when you use cloudflare MX record must be mail.domain.tld
Thank you both.
The fact is that emails work. I can send them and receive them from the webmail, but I can't connect to my mailbox using another client, like Gmail for Android or Thunderbird.
I followed Dean K's tutorial here on mailmoocow and added a few more dns records to the mail server domain.
Like domain.com and mail.domain.com are on the same webserver/mailserver.
Then on domains I want emails on, I just add an MX record pointing to mail.domain.com, with priority 1.
This is a cloudflare export from my mail server. Replace 8.8.8.8 with your ipv4 addresses.
It's probably crap and there's no mx2, mx3 etc.

But it's working!
Did you setup the MX correctly ? added a CNAME (mail.example.com) ? TXT (spf) ?
If that's the case you need to disable cloudflare for subdomains your smtp or ipop record pointed
you might want to try resetting all dns records, could help out. Clear all records from your registrar and then set them again
SMTP and IMAP/POP server - I guess you have it setup in the mail client towards the main domain. You should create a non-protected subdomain pointing directly to the server's IP and use this subdomain as your SMTP, IMAP or POP servers.
Hope this helps. Merry Christmas!
Thank you everyone! Basically what I did was to turn off SSL and cloudflare protection on the A record referred to mail.domain.com.
Now it works everywhere.
Merry Christmas!
Update on this - NameSilo now supports SRV records
There's a bug on Android, when the ssl key changes. Go to settings, select other option (like no ssl), then.revert it. It works
