how to setup email accounts for private domain name?

Hello Rick,

Welcome to the forum. In regard to your approach, they are both viable.

Approach two does have the merit of not requiring an alias.

Please note though if you are currently using your email service, consider waiting until none business day to make the change. This way it will have the least amount of impact for your business.

Thank You

Thanks Jon,

Sorry I was away for awhile.

I'm still a bit unclear.

Is there a way to add email accounts like me@mydomain.com before I change any DNS records?

Can I verify that I own our domain name without changing the DNS to direct to Comcast server?

It would be nice to not have everyone logging in with an alias.

Thanks,

-Rick.

OK,

I was worried that adding the CNAME record was going to start routing our email to the comcast server or break the link to the web page,,,  but I added it and it looks like everything's still working OK!!

So,, now I can add the user email accounts ahead of the mx record changes...

Hello mmedvesky,

Welcome to the forum.

To your query please use our online article of: Use your existing domain name with Comcast Business email and web hosting, for information. Specifically please read the "option 2" to utilize only the email service with Comcast.

Thank you
