How can I use custom email accounts with domain connected to netlify?

[Ursinus]

Hi. I have a site on netlify: https://brandeter.netlify.app (custom domain: brandeter.pl), and I want to create custom emails → kontakt@brandeter.pl and bok@brandeter.pl.
Any of you know any way to do this? Is there a free way to link this to gmail?
I’m new and don’t know how to do this.
Please help me.

Here’s some pretty useful information on the subject:

[Support Guide] How can I receive emails on my domain?

Last reviewed by Netlify Support: March 2022 That’s a really common question! Netlify does not provide email service. But no worries! You can choose a service yourself, and then set up the DNS records required by that email provider at Netlify.

Yes, but it only describes how to do a redirect. And is it possible to have an account such as kontakt@brandeter.pl? This tutorial working with normal free gmail account or only gsuite?

That guide links to ImprovMX which is what you’re looking for:

I am facing a similar issue, I’ve done everything like it’s defined here and on my mail server it says that all my records are valid. However I still don’t receive any emails that are sent from my app.

Is there no way to go about this than to use ImprovMX?

If all the DNS records are valid, you need to try contacting your email provider. A lot of users are able to use various email providers by configuring the correct DNS records. As a DNS host, we can’t comment much on why you might not be receiving emails.

For cross-reference @hrishikesh, the issue @zzleki is facing is documented in

SSL certificate fails after adding mailer nameservers

I’m facing an issue with my Domain set up. I have added a custom domain with all necessary information and records. I added the provided nameservers on to my DNS provider and all works well up to this point. However, I’m also using nodemailer to send emails for which I had to set up additional nameservers on my DNS provider. After that I get an SSL_ERROR_BAD_CERT_DOMAIN whenever I try to access my site. I believe it’s because Netlify’s Lets encrypt takes into account only the nameservers prov…

That would explain somethings. Yeah, the domain can only have one service’s nameservers at one time to work fine.
