    Yeah, the secureserver was a GoDaddy thing. Got rid of those and all was fine.

    Until mails sent to gmail accounts started bouncing back.

    Had to change some DNS settings again at GoDaddy. All appears to be fine now.

    The question is ... what to do with all my old emails that are sitting on a MS Exchange server. Should I try to transfer them to Bluehost, or download them to my computer.

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      @George-K , mind posting another screenshot showing your DNS entries on GoDaddy? Feel free to mask your domain name, of course, just leave the host name portions. Curious to see what CNAME entries you have to preserve/remove/change to make email work with a different provider. Thanks.

        Depends if you need them? I would download to computer/cloud for archiving.

          Here are the DNS settings I used when I set up email via Zoho for a website. I'd imagine this isn't fine tuned and not perfect, but it got the job done a few years ago when I set it. Set it...and forget it.

                  I have no idea what any of those things do. Is there a location where I can learn about that?

                      @George-K Have you been able to send emails? I recall jumping through similiar hoops a few years ago when I used a GoDaddy domain but switched email over to Zoho or another email provider. Indeed it took a little messing with the DNS records (cname, a, etc...) but eventually it worked. Yes I believe the secureserver.net is a godaddy thing.

                      I wish Danica Patrick would chime in here with some support. Any type of support. ANY.
