How to change mx recods in zoho mail

To change MX records in Zoho Mail, you'll need to follow these steps:

Prerequisites:

  1. You have a Zoho Mail account.
  2. You have access to the DNS settings of your domain (e.g., through your domain registrar or hosting provider).

Step 1: Log in to Zoho Mail

  1. Go to the Zoho Mail login page and enter your email address and password to log in.
  2. Click on the "Settings" icon (represented by a gear icon) in the top-right corner of the page.

Step 2: Access the DNS Settings

  1. In the Zoho Mail settings page, click on "Custom DNS" under the "Advanced" section.
  2. You will be redirected to the Zoho Custom DNS page.

Step 3: Update the MX Records

  1. In the Zoho Custom DNS page, click on the "Add MX Record" button.
  2. Enter the following information:
    • Name: Leave it blank (or enter your domain name, e.g., example.com).
    • Type: Select "MX" from the dropdown menu.
    • Priority: Enter a priority value (e.g., 10).
    • Value: Enter the MX record value provided by Zoho Mail (e.g., mx.zoho.com).
  3. Click the "Add" button to add the MX record.

Step 4: Verify the MX Record

  1. Go back to the Zoho Custom DNS page and verify that the MX record has been added successfully.
  2. You can also check the MX record using a DNS lookup tool, such as dig or nslookup.

Step 5: Update the DNS Settings

  1. Go back to your domain registrar or hosting provider's DNS settings page.
  2. Update the MX records to point to the Zoho Mail MX records. You may need to delete any existing MX records and add the new ones.

Step 6: Verify the DNS Propagation

  1. Wait for the DNS changes to propagate (this may take up to 48 hours).
  2. Verify that your domain is pointing to Zoho Mail by checking your email settings or sending an email to your domain.

That's it! Your MX records should now be updated to point to Zoho Mail. If you encounter any issues or have further questions, feel free to ask.
