My domain (curiouslycory.com) was purchased at godaddy a while back and set up to work with my gsuite account. I decided to set up my website at netlify and moved the DNS over. The netlify domain works great for the website, but email has stopped working. I’ve double/tripple checked all of my DNS settings, and can’t seem to receive any emails:
Luke.
Most of those records aren’t required or even possible to set up in this situation, but I did manage to get it figured out. I had to add the address as an alias to my inbox again for some reason. Once I did that, the mail started coming through right away.
@CuriouslyCory, please disregard the post above. I’ve managed to get this sorted.
Just going to document some notes here for anybody who arrives at this thread and requires more information.
Context:
I had an email address and domain from GSuite, but I opted to host my site with Netlify.
Problem:
Once I started pointing my domain name to Netlify, my previously working email address could no longer receive emails. I could still send them, though.
Solution:
Go to Netlify > Settings > Domain Management
Click on the Options dropdown and follow the link to Go to DNS Panel
In the DNS Settings section, add the Google-specific records, which you can find here
Save changes
